Re: Konqueror Kolours
I don't remember how I installed it (it might have been from the package manager or by going to a site with Konqueror and then using the online thing that pops up asking if you'd like to install it), but it shows as installed in the package manager. I'm also using 32-bit. But it's not a problem since I'm switching to Ubuntu very soon.
Filelight
If you'd like to see another one that has a GUI-ish <g> representation of the space usage, try xdiskusage. It's in the package manager. You run it from a terminal, but it's quick and visually satisfying.
Agreed on the virtually endless supply of Ways Of Doing Things in Linux. May it continue forever!

Heh. Well honestly I am a huge fan of df and du, but when a drive is full and you're wondering where all the stuff IS, the graphical size-is-size way of showing things can be immensely helpful, at a glance it's very apparent where bulks are and very easy to "zoom" (there's probably a better term but I can't think of one) in on a trouble area and then see where the bulk of that is, and etc etc.
It's certainly not the only tool to use; actually I should have been more specific, it's the fact that when I click on "view" in Konqueror and there's nearly a dozen different ways I can view files, each of them useful in different ways, that really reinforces my love of KDE. If there's something you need to do, there's a way to do it and someone's likely already programmed a snazzy-looking implementation of it! (although on the other hand I still tend to just use "df -h" instead of kdf, but KDE and the terminal are my two big loves in Linux land I suppose).
