There is utility called "xdu" which uses information from "du" and shows it
graphically. I do not know if it exists for Linux, but the source code is
available, so you should be able to build it for Linux.

Subject: Get directory size?


Is there a way to find out how much data a directory contains?  Although
I've been using Linux for close to eight months now, I still haven't found
any obvious way to get 'ls' or 'df' to display the size of a directory's
contents in K or Megs.  Any suggestions?

Thanks
