[wplug] suggestions on Unix/Linux machines at Pitt labs?

[Juan Zuluaga]

The Pitt campus in Oakland has some computer labs with
Solaris and Linux machines. 
   As a user I get frustrated by the fact that the
space I have available is only the same as my space at
the unixs.cis.pitt.edu shared system. If that space is
just 10Mb, and I already occupy 5 Mbs with webpages
etc, I am just left with 5Mbs (space that gets also
reduced, of course, each time I log, with the
gnome/cde/mozillatemp files etc). 
   3.5 Mbs is no decent space to do anything. Should I
be concerned for having to work in /tmp ? I mean,
those desktops are very decent machines that should
have plenty of space in hard drive. 
   No wonder those computer labs are empty. There must
be a way in which Pitt/Sun/RedHat techs could set up
those machines differently, allowing users have more
space. 
   As I would like to make an informed suggestion to
them, what is the technical issue and how could it be
theoretically be solved?
