My little contrib (since the OP seems to *perhaps* want a GUI?, since
Windoze is mentioned).
Look into 'mc' (midnight commander) -- or even "emelFM" (which I use
some/most times, found out about it from 'dsl' linux) -- *emelFM* has
buttons for quick access to 'du', 'df', 'free', 'xterm', 'sudo', etc...

design. It features a simple GTK+ interface, a flexible file
typing scheme, and a built-in command line for executing commands
without opening an xterm.

Hi;
Thanks for that...
But - I'd like to know why *both* produce the same results for
me...(when I ran them while in some obscure subDir).
[caveats are as follows]
[1] I *think* the 2nd command (pathological) will yield ALL files
(hidden too... due to the 'ls -a')
[2] I understand 'cd', no prob, and am pretty sure $DIR, when run as
is; means $HOME, (with a big note that -> $DIR is just a variable),
when I used just 'cd DIR...' without the '$', it listed what was in
that _current_ DIR.
Does this need to be placed into a Shell Script and run? (#!/bin/sh
header) - or (should) can it be run from the command line Bash manually
(as I have just done)? and if so, does one need to replace the variable
$DIR with whatever DIR one wants to run the command on?
I'm _extremely_ new to any sort of scripting/programming (but have done
some light BATCH stuff in DOS), and I understand some (fair amount) of
syntax in the more used (easier) Linux commands.
Thanks

I usually run it once a week by cron. It hep me find the sub sub sub
directory that has the biggest file.

and im sure I just need to house keep some logs or something that are
probably building up in some far flug dir, but need an easy way of
spotting where these files are.

See du(1), df(1), and even find(1).
