1Many servers are command-line only over ssh, so graphical tools are useless for those. This is a good tool to be able to see what is going on quickly and using only a ssh shell session.

Visually looks exactly like windirstat.
11It simply works on Linux and has a familiar feel to WinDirStat
0Well, it's the same but in Linux. Good layout etc. The ony thing I miss is analyzing the entire drive. You can't just analyze /, but /home/ or /whatever/
0looks very similar to windirstat and seems to work the same. I like it.
1it is very similar to windirstat, it has similar features and is very fast

Is GD Map a good alternative to WinDirStat?Comments about GD Map as an Alternative to WinDirStat
Most closely resembles windirstat
3brinerustleBecause it uses treemaps. K4DirStat is a better choice for those using KDE, as it also allows deletion of files, etc.
-1It works very much alike WinDirStat, albeit without tree directory and you cant really delete anything from the GDM itself, but it shows all the necessary file paths for you to do it easily.
0Does not show status of file scanning

Comments about Baobab Disk Usage Analyzer as an Alternative to WinDirStat
Does whatever WinDirStat does, but much more neat UI
It is very fast and has a genuine way of presenting where your harddisk space is being used.
Showing directory size is not enough for me. I need to see files sizes in that big directory. And WinDirStat do it on the first page.
not enough features; poor ui
Very Good, speed just perfect
