I too am used to the tools of windows and have found that xdiskusage 
useful in linux as it shows disk usage in a graph for a selected 
partition. You'll need to install egcs-c++ rpm as well and you'll need 
to run it as root.  You can use the binary at this location just change 
the permissions to execute, install egcs-c++ rpm an make a desktop icon 
and on the icons properties select to run as different user "root".
