When I wrote about disk space problems, I did not refer to user content. I agree that there is no easy fix for people keeping fifteen copies of bmps, etc. Instead, I was talking about disks getting filled by OS components, and by other software made by Microsoft, Apple and other large companies. This is something I have not seen on the Linux distros that I have come across. As for "sufficiently non-tech-inclined user WILL kill his OS rather sooner than later", well... some OSes and distros are more resilient to abuse than others. Ubuntu seems to be one of the best ones around. I'm an Arch-er myself, but that's because I'd rather give up some resilience to stay on the cutting edge.
