if you don't wanna see all these, you can just do a you'll still see some of them (tmpfs and udev related), but far less

When I use df -h, the output is almost the same.

What I still don't see is total disk space used and space remaining. Even when I use a gui like KDiskFree to display this info it has a ? under file system type and N/A under the mount point /.
This is with kubuntu. When I do df -h in fedora I get:
df -ah

again, I see totals.
I also see total space used and free on the slackware distro I have at work.
