for free space, run this command
df -h
i think df stands for disk free, man it
man df
df by itself is all in bytes and is quite confusing.

That doesn't actually "free" any space, it simply reports what is available. As far a pruning your system there are some options. You have:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/cachedir/ and
http://freshmeat.net/projects/kdirstat/
amongst others, but that's probably sufficient

Cool
