That's nice. 
Thanks.

I should have asked this in my first post but you might know what is a good 
percentage of disk space not to go over for optimal performance.  Is it below 
90 or lower.  I'm sitting at 85 now.  Is this ok?  And what if you do get up 
near 98 or 99 would I have seen my system locking up.  Or will Linux manage 
to do ok.
