[ale] who is eating my drive

[James Sumners]

Looks like you let the Ubuntu installer automatically partition the
disk for you. It allocated 13GB to / and 4GB to each of /dev,
/dev/shm, /var/run, and /var/lock. Your lesson here: never let an
installer automatically partition your disk.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
