Hi Davyd Interesting to see that approach to portraying disk usage. Personally, however, I feel that anyone really wanting this kind of software would probably prefer to use something like Graphical Disk Map <http://gdmap.sourceforge.net/>.
As an outsider to this whole process, though, I'm not sure I totally understand why applications have to be bundled into packages of vaguely related software like this. Can't distributions make their own minds up?
