Display disk usage in graphical way

Recently, i got my disk usage 100% in my home folder. With using only du in linux, we got only text output about the disk usage. I need to see which folder occupy most of the disk space in a quick way, in a glance and in an interesting way, using graphical representation.

So i search for the application to do this in linux, and i found Baobab. This application name not imply its usage, but very neat. We can see the disk usage in a graphical way, using a ring chart , and also have the list of subdirectory we scan so we can got the directory which consume much of the disk space.

With this, it is faster and quicker way to find the folder which occupy most of the space, even with remote folder. This feature i found most interesting.

For the website source and developer can go to baobab website

Nice to share this. Hope you got benefit from this share.
