It’s time for the third question in the $25 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway. Chaoslica won week 2 by answering our question most accurately.  To recap, every week we are asking a Linux question.  We want readers to post their answer in the comments section at the bottom of the post.  At the end of week four the person who answers the most questions correctly will win a $25 Amazon Gift card.  If there are four different winners each week, a winner within the winners will be chosen at random.  If there is a tie, the winner will be determined based on who posted their answers the fastest.  Go here for the complete rules.

Question 3 : Week 3

From the command line, how would you get the size of all files and directories and output them from highest to lowest size?

The most complete and straightforward answer will win!

Post your answers at the bottom of this post in the comments!
