Re: Should I clean my /tmp directory?
See:
This 'tmp' directory isn't like the Windoze 'temp' that accumulates stuff and isn't cleaned up automatically by that OS. I'd say, leave it alone./tmp
This directory is used for temporary storage space. Files within this directory are often cleaned out either at boot time or by a regular job process. The Debian GNU/Linux operating system cleans up the /tmp directory at boot time. An example for using the /tmp directory in Computerbank would be when downloading the OpenOffice deb packages. By downloading these packages into the /tmp directory, the user can be assured the packages will be wiped off the system next time the machine reboots.Windows no longer obstructs my view.
