-  <p><app>Disk Usage Analyzer</app> is a graphical scanner application for the
-  GNOME Desktop. It uses charts to graphically represent your usage of hard
-  disk space, including available space.</p>
-
-  <p>It scans and displays the volume of folders, the whole file system or
-  what you specifically request. You can scan
-  <link xref="scan-file-system">the whole filesystem</link>,
-  <link xref="scan-home">your <file>Home</file> folder</link>,
-  <link xref="scan-folder">another folder on the system</link> or
-  <link xref="scan-remote">a remote folder</link>.</p>
-
-  <p><app>Disk Usage Analyzer</app> also automatically detects any changes that
-  are made to your <file>Home</file> folder, including any mounted or
-  unmounted devices.</p>
-
-  <p>By default, the results are shown as a <link xref="view-ring"><gui>ring
-  chart</gui></link>, which shows each folder is displayed as a differently
-  colored part or a ring, or you can also use to the <link
-  xref="view-tree"><gui>treemap chart</gui></link>, where folders are shown as
-  rectangles. Both views reflect the volume of each folder and the directory
-  structure in the chart.</p>
+  <p><app>Baobab</app> can be used for checking how much disk space your files 
+  and folders take up. It uses <link xref="view-ring">charts</link> to show how 
+  much disk space is being used and you can see the remaining free space.</p>
+
+  <p><app>Baobab</app> lets you do this through
+  <link xref="scan-file-system">Scan filesystem</link>,
+  <link xref="scan-home">Scan Home</link>,
+  <link xref="scan-folder">Scan another folder on the system</link> or
+  <link xref="scan-remote">Scan a remote folder</link>.</p>
+
+  <p>The disk usage space taken up by each folder is not only useful to scan multiple internal hard drives.
+  It also works for external hard drives that are used by USB or cameras.</p>
