I think this might help you out some, its my two systems, and for what they do, they work great :P On my LAN, I have a 66mhz pentium machine. With a 500MB scsi hdd and 4.1.1-R, it runs Samba, acts as my internet gateway, firewalls my network, nat's certain ports, runs fetchmail to download e-mail from all of my family's e-mail accounts, runs cucipop for pop3 over the network, sendmail with smart relaying, apache for my local webpages, and runs three printers (all which get pretty heavy usage). Now I am sure I am missing something, but even with all of this: bash$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 388M 137M 220M 38% / procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /proc It also has various other things installed including: bash$ ls -l /var/db/pkg drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Nov 20 07:35 bash-1.14.7 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Nov 20 06:07 bind-8.2.2.p5 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 3 1980 cucipop-1.31 This machine is basically built for a server. I installed the doc's, man pages and the base binaries. I have only gotten this system up above 50% disk usage after downloading a huge amount of e-mail, and when I had my mp3's stored over. Finally, my desktop is 4.2-S. It is a 233mhz pentium machine. With an 8.4gb IDE hdd, it does everything a destkop machine should. I run X and KDE 2.0.1 (which is quite nice i might add) and various other things including: jwpauler@wks01: ~> ls /var/db/pkg BitchX-1.0c17 kdemultimedia-2.0_1 LPRng-3.6.26 kdenetwork-2.0 Mesa-3.2.1_1 kdesupport-2.0 ORBit-0.5.3_1 kdeutils-2.0 a2ps-a4-4.13 kicq-1.0.0 autoconf-2.13 koffice-2.0 automake-1.4 libaudiofile-0.1.9 bsdi-netscape-navigator-4.75 libghttp-1.0.7 bzip2-1.0.1 libmikmod-3.1.9 cvsup-bin-16.1 libogg-20001018 esound-0.2.19 libproplist-0.10.1 fnlib-0.5 libtool-1.3.4_1 freetype-1.3.1 libungif-4.1.0b1 fvwm-1.24r libvorbis-20001018 gdk-pixbuf-0.9.0 libwww-5.3.1 gettext-0.10.35 libxml-1.8.10 glib-1.2.8 linuxdoc-1.1 gmake-3.79.1 m4-1.4 mkcatalog-1.0 netscape-wrapper-2000.07.07 gtk-1.2.8 png-1.0.8_1 iconv-2.0_1 qt-1.45 icqlib-1.0.0 qt-2.2.2 imlib-1.9.8.1 tcl-8.3.1 iso8879-1986 teTeX-1.0.7 jade-1.2.1 tiff-3.5.5 jpeg-6b tk-8.3.1 kde-2.0 unzip-5.41 kdebase-2.0 uulib-0.5.13 kdegames-2.0 xanim-2.80.2 kdegraphics-2.0 xmms-gnome-1.2.4 kdelibs-1.1.2_2 xpm-3.4k kdelibs-2.0 ymessenger-0.93.0 Even with all of this, all of my documents and mp3's, including full sources, I have: jwpauler@wks01: ~> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 1.6G 23M 1.5G 1% / /dev/ad0s1f 2.9G 623M 2.1G 23% /usr /dev/ad0s1e 2.9G 3.1M 2.7G 0% /var procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /proc So as you can see, it just depends on what you are going to be using it as. If you do alot of desktop work, mp3's and such, go with a bigger drive, or just save room to add another drive later on. -jwp On Tuesday 19 December 2000 23:45, Chris Fedde wrote: > On Wed, 20 Dec 2000 00:02:49 -0500 modF wrote: > +------------------ > > | Greetings, > | I have been searching the site and the FAQ's for information on a > | "typical" installation.
