When you install a new OS the size of the installation astonish me everytime.  I looked at Ubuntu that seems to be so nice according to everybody, but it uses almost 10Gig after installation.

Not that it tackles your piont but Ubuntu uses waaay less than 10GB. It comes on a 700mb disk. The requirements are:
At least 4 GB of disk space (for full installation and swap space)

I think the default installation is below 3Gb I think.
