[ale] how do I view system logs / check disk space

[Ron Frazier]

I was trying to view some of the logs in /var/log with gedit.  I have 
some questions.

Is there a gui based log viewer where I can pick the log from a list and 
view it quickly?

There are some logs such as wtmp which gedit cannot edit.  Is there a 
way to access those.

Also, what's the command to check how much disk space you're using and 
how much each thing in a directory is using?

Sincerely,

Ron
