To find available drive space:
"df" will do. -h makes it "human readable".
"top" will show you memory usage, both physical and swap. |

Understanding what the output means is another issue. There was a thread around somewhere for that too... _________________ Quis separabit? Quo animo? |

Alternatively if you're running KDE and would like something a bit easier to read...
Control Centre-->Information-->Block Devices - Free drive space
Control Centre --> Information --> Memory --> Free swap / memory |
