Partition ?'s

[Derick Centeno]

Hi Kevin:
/dev/shm is a partition involved in swapping (RAM) memory; shm stands 
for shared memory.
If you have 2G of RAM, then /dev/shm should have a partition of at 
least 2G, and so on.

Regarding using df better.  Try using df -h for easy to interpret 
output.  Try:

$df -h

Also if you put the output under their appropriate columns you'd see 
you are not that bad off:

You probably should reorganize your HD's partitions more effectively or 
you may also just choose to get a larger HD.

Good luck ...
