From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

PS: if the disk fills up after deleting files (with rm) then some process may be the cause. Use the iotop command to show what processes are doing the most reading and writing, similar to top but for io.
If you haven't you can also hunt down the biggest directories either with a disk usage analyzer or command line. Cd into whatever to level directly (your home dir) then: sudo du -dk | sort -n
