Re: Number of Files on a computer

Hmm. There's 60,000 on the parents desktop. 300,000 between my laptop and 100gb drive on the desktop (I forgot I had it shared when I started the search). There's 30,000 files on my server. Then theres still my 40gb drive and 200gb drive on the desktop. I'd say I have well over half a million files.

*nix: find / -print > tmp ; wc -l tmp ; rm tmp (old one counted lines of every file )

Come to think of it, there's probably 40,000 files or so on my backup server drive that doesn't work in the computer. I estimate there's 200,000 files or so on my 40gb drive. It holds WinXP/Gentoo. My 200gb drive probably has 30k files.

If my estimations are correct, I have 660,000 files. My personal storage space is 400gb (340gb in the desktop, 60gb in the powerbook). Adding my parents and sisters computers, I have 500gb.

Actually, my estimate was low for my desktop. There were 405,000 files on my 200gb and 40gb combined. So I have 835,000 files

So am I winning?
