[Ti] OT: Finding dupes on hard drive

[Loren Schooley]

I use locate.

All jpgs on computer:
$locate jpg

(My home directory is "loren")
All jpgs in lorens home directory (i.e. Any path with loren in it:

$ locate jpg | grep loren | sort

May want to run "$ sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb" first to update the
locatedb. 

Loren
