    Hi, i have the AAO linpus 110 8GB SSD an have now with nothing in folders of document or music or downloads.. only 2.3 GB left, so does that mean that linux uses up 5.7 GIG of space ?
    Looks like a lot!
    Is there a way to create more space ?

    Yes. You can use SD card in left card reader as expansion for SSD... After putting formatted card system is adding available space automatically to SSD...

    That doesn't sound right. My AAO had about 4GB free when new. 4.5GB after removing the swap partition and adding a few programs. You must have some files hiding somewhere taking up the space.

    You can get back .3 gig by removing most of the languages. (Going to add remove programs and picking the language section.) Even the most adept polygot probably doesn't need all of them.
