Re: OT: how much disk space for linux + windows
Hello,
I have been running a laptop dual booting Windows 98 and Debian for
about 3 years (same laptop) with a 6gig drive. It has been tight quite
a few times, but I manage. I just got a new 48 gig that I gave 8 gigs
to Windows2000 and the other 40 gigs to debian. I think a 12-20 gig
drive would be fine. I also shop at ebay and have seen many 12-20 gig
drives for about $100-$150 USD.
