Oh really, that's good, and how about a disk clean-up tool like in XP for temp files ?

Linux doesn't spread detritus all over your hard drive the way Windows does. There are very little temporary files on a Linux system. Most of them you'll find in /var, and are usually log files. My Ubuntu 6.06 installation has been in use for over ten months straight. My entire /var directory is only 285M in size.
