-This is a graphical "du" (disk usage) display.
+Kdirstat - a graphical disk usage display for TDE.
-What you see here is a 90% rewrite - GUI, engine, everything. The one thing it
-can do a whole lot better than the old version is stay on one file system - the
-single most most requested feature. Plus, it's way faster for large directory
-trees - scanning an entire Linux file system no longer takes 30+
-minutes. Rather, it's about 2-3 minutes: The old version seemed to have
-problems with system buffer thrashing due to too many directories open for
-reading at one time - the new version uses an internal queue and keeps only one
-directory open.

+KDirStat (TDE Directory Statistics) is a small utility program that sums
+up disk usage for directory trees, very much like the Unix 'du' command.
+It displays the disk space used up by a directory tree, both numerically
+and graphically. It is network transparent (i.e you can use it to sum up
+FTP servers) It comes with predefined and user configurable cleanup
+actions. You can directly open a directory branch in Konqueror or the
+shell of your choice then compress it to a .tar.bz2 archive or define
+your own cleanup actions.
