what's that app called? i'm using feisty, so i no longer see it. i think all versions from warty to edgy had this app, located in system > administration, and i believe it was called something like "disks" or something.
I just happen to like it, and i'd like to know what the package name is so i can download it.
thanks for your time.

You can also check out filelight in the Universe repositories. Pretty cool program.

Thnx because i really dont like disk analyzer which is buildin, it takes forever to load and the overview is not logic to me. Sofar i used the system monitor to check filesize or "df". filelight looks really nice!
sudo aptitude install filelight

It was removed because it was unmaintained.
Personally, I dodn'T like it that uch to begin with. It had a lot of problems.

I prefer the terminal over gui programs. I could go on for days saying how much I love the terminal. n_n

It's a glob, or globbing, aka a wildcard.
