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)



Thanks for correcting my mistake.  I didn't mean to exaggerate, just didn't do
research on the subject.  I see most people report
the installation at 3gig, with Gnome and KDE included about 5Gig.  


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

Niels.

 

I wanted to upgrade my Windows installations to Ubuntu about a year ago, but after hearing
it needs that amount of space (I thought
it would be less than 1Gig), I decided to stick to my Windows XP installations that
Install to about 1.7Gig.  

 

Thanks
