Get the space left

the unix command "df" will tell you what kind of space you have on your
partitions, like so:

[mutex@andromeda mutex]$ df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda12            48421508  40073392   5888380  88% /
none                    513076         0    513076   0% /dev/shm

now, by default it gives it to you in bytes, and sometimes this isn't
terribly helpful, so the -h flag will give you a slightly more readable
output:

[mutex@andromeda mutex]$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda12             46G   39G  5.6G  88% /
none                  501M     0  501M   0% /dev/shm

check the man page on df for more cool flags.
good luck
