change the df command to show in megabytes all the time instead of bytes. It's more meaningful to read when you are listing files.

Edit /etc/bashrc. At the bottom of the file, place any aliases you want to use.

A few of mine are:

# Change the disk free command to show megabytes instead of bytes
alias df="df -h"
# Make a new alias called duh to show disk usage with a max depth of 1. This shows how big directories are easily.
alias duh="du -h --max-depth=1"
# Change ll to show megabytes as well.
alias ll="ll -h"
