Question: How do i free up space on my hard-drive?

Bad advice:

Login as root and do "rm -rf /"

Good advice:

"rm -rf" will forcibly remove the given directory and all it's subdirectories, which is probably not something you want to do with your root-directory. Instead, consider deleting that huge archive of lesbian porn and "Britney Spears"-mp3s.

That's excellent ;D
