Re: Minimum HD space
My newbie-2-newbie advice:
* don't be afraid of Potato; it works well and you can upgrade later
if you want.
* The more disk space you have, the better -- especially if you don't
yet know what packages you like, a minimal installation can be a
little constricting. But like everyone said, you can fit a lot in
600MB, so don't be afraid to go for it.
