Found my own answer looking around...

[terry at AngryPuppy terry]$ df -H
Filesystem             Size   Used  Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2             120GB   22GB   92GB  19% /
/dev/hda1             103MB   49MB   49MB  50% /boot
none                  131MB      0  130MB   0% /dev/shm

Has to do with units of 1024 vs 1000.

Sorry about the newb question.

Terry
