I just ran out of space. What the hell. I have some rinky dinky things installed, like everything LMDE comes with, some junky HTML editors I was trying, Evolution, and World of Warcraft.
My home partition should be 360some gigs. I do *not* have 360some gigs used.
Am I somehow *not* using my /home partion for my /home directory? I just followed what looked like obvious instructions when installing LMDE but maybe I botched it?
According to Disk Utility I have
/dev/sda1 , 6.3BG ext3 , mounted at /
and
/dev/sda5 , 2.5GB , linux swap
and
/dev/sda6 , 362GB , mounted at /home
And "Disk Usage Analyzer" says I am 100% full at 98.5GB in "/"
That doesn't even make sense to me... one program says "/" has a 6.3GB capacity, and the other program says "/" is full at 98.5GB.
What am I doing wrong?
Do I need to format and install *again* and just not use "/" and "/home" partitions, like every guide on partitioning I've read suggests to do?
(This has been one long, crappy evening all around.)

Hi Laura!
Please first read my help (link1 below).
Can you please give us some more information?
You could run GParted to see your partitions.
