Over time you might start getting multiple copies of the same file, soft links that point to files that no longer exist, temporary files that have been hanging around longer than they should, and binaries that have been installed and not had their debugging information stripped out. <A href="http://www.pixelbeat.org/fslint/">fslint</A> can help you find these troublesome files so you can clean up your filesystem.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.linux.com/feature/149490">Packages for fslint are available in <A href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/fslint">Ubuntu Hardy</A> universe and in the Fedora 9 repositories. There are currently no packages for openSUSE. I built it from source using version 2.28 of fslint on a 32-bit Fedora 9 machine. fslint is written in Python and uses GTK+2 and libglade2, so you'll need these and the Python bindings for them installed first.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.linux.com/feature/149490"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.linux.com/img/72467235-F56F-454F-8DFB-A33CA3D402D5" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E99D0D78-A039-41B5-A383-FAE70051D23F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
