I have both a 20G and a 250G on hand, so I guess the question > really is is 20G enough ? ? ? I've been running a complete system with KDE, OOo, Gimp etc on my laptop on= a=20 7GB partition for 3 years. It does require some cleaning up every so often= =20 (remove distfiles etc), but it's enough. So 20GB should be plenty. =46or things that need a lot of space to build (OOo), you can use binary=20 packages.
