Well with most of the distributions this is really near automatic, unlike Windows. If you want to tune up your system this is a good place to start.

A lot depends on the distribution you are running so what Linux distro are you using. There are many many!

I was reading in a Linux periodical (either Linux Format or Linux Magazine - both out of EU, not US) recently about a utility that searched for duplicate files.
When you get around to it, either do a google search, or go to the respective websites for the two magazines I mention above and see if you can find it.

Using a registry cleaner can clean up your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there may be some regsitry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer slow".
Everytime you install and uninstall software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the computer registry.over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you've installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it's Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner to make it fast.Good Regisry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!It even can speed up your computer by 300% or more!
There are some comparison and review of TOP 5 registry cleaners.
