You might want to be a bit more specific as to what exactly would
make a system usable in your case.
I use a Debian box for file and printer sharing, UUCP mail and news
server, internet gateway and fax server. On my 220 Mb disk about 40%
is used by the system.
If on the other hand you need X, you are going to run out of disk space.
But then, the latest graphical shells of 'microstuffit' will not 
fit either.
