Some Windows equivalency questions

[JeremySchubert]

1. What would be the equivalent to the Windows Task Manager? A place where I can see what processes are in use, kill any process, examine CPU usage etc?

2. How can I get the properties of my C drive (or whatever that's called in Ubuntu)? Information about size, fee space...info I would get if I right clicked on my C drive and chose Properties.

3. I've learned how to navigate to different programs using the super key or by activating the launcher with my mouse. How can I tell what instances of each app/window is open? F

Thanks,
Jeremy

Thank you. Under the file system tab in the System Monitor, what is the difference between 'free space' and 'available' space?

Try this thread for an explanation, an old one but valid as far as I know..
