I really found difficult to manage my files as my data is increasing day by day with my dataone in which i get at least 1.5Mbps:D. So looking for some suggestions from your guys movies, music, Linux, torrents,Picture files & various other application packages are very poorly organized.

Often I waste my time just for searching for particular file in huge garbage heap. Sometimes I find some movies which I download months back just lying which I haven’t watched, I sure this problem may be with some of you two so share how you manage your data and most important small text files of countless tutorials ,pdf e-books ,documents ,blog entries etc..


I have one stranger requirement; i always change my OS as try newest Linux distros.


Please list how you organize your data
bwt i am looking for a setuo which helps me keep at least 3-4 os at same time installed



i have one 80gb hdd(internal) & one 320gb hdd(external)

I see right through you.
It's not strange, I know quite a few people who try the latest Linux distros. The easiest way to solve that particular problem is to keep a /home partition separate, and mount it on each distro.

What else? Use consistent naming conventions, keep one folder for all the stuff that is downloaded everyday, and redirect it to the proper folder when you have the time. Get to know the linux find commands like locate and find. They can be faster than most GUI tools.
