Linux crash?
Well more like an X-server crash. I have been working on the PHP apt-get package manager and the x-server crashed on me. After some looking around in turns out my root mount sda1 was full. I found the following commands allowed me to work through the terminal to free some space and get X back up.
du -sh (check disk space utilization where you are)
du -sh "path to file" (disk space for the given directory)
df (disk space usage on the computer)
ls -lsh (list files with actual sizes) caution all directories are symbolic links and will show 4k with this command. To see how much size a directory occupies you must du -sh.
Man I wish I had backed up my code today. Play-on-Linux crashed on my Notepad++ and erased my file. I will have to work from yesterday's back up.
