I just completed converted from Windows to
Linux and chose Ubuntu. Ok -> Im learning as fast as I can. This is
all a bit weird but I can see that it has much more usefulness. Change
is good.

There are a few things I want to be able to do. First, in Windows
Explorer I can see the size of each folder and the drives that I have
on my system. How do I do that now?

Second, I see Gaim Instant Messenger and XChat IRC. Can I use these to
chat with people on AOL and Yahoo IM?
