[ale] mint 13 vm running out of storage space

[Edward Holcroft]

I smell a troll, but I'll take the bait anyway.

"There is nothing free about free software."

You misunderstand Free Software. Perhaps you are confusing it with
Freeware, or some similar concept. Note though that those producst that
fall under the banner of freeware can differ widely in terms of what they
mean by "free". If you subscribe to the "Teenage Wind" view of Free ("when
you don't have to/Pay for nothing/Or do nothing"), otherwise known as the
Freetard view of freedom, then you would be right. But this is not he view
of freedom held by proponents of Free Software. The definition of Free
Software is quite specific. It means this (from www.fsf.org):

The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your
computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a
precondition for this.
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom
2).
The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others
(freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to
benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for
this.

If you can grasp this (it's not hard), then you will understand that free
software is a matter of liberty, not price.
