Analyse Which Files Take the Most Space; Linux Version

I was curious to learn what takes up space on a Linux distribution, so I decided to run the script mentioned in the previous post. Unlike on Windows, here it is more convenient to run the script from python (I did not bother to compile a binary on Linux).

You can download the script here. (The script in the last post did not include a small dependency).

Here is the result on my distribution:

No so bad considering the biggest file is about 40Mb. But then again I seldom use this Linux machine (my windows machine has much more wear and tear).
