If you're careful about what you install, you should be fine. The real disk hogs (GNOME and KDE) are also CPU and memory hogs, so you'll probably want to stay away from them. Go with something small as a window manager, like IceWM, XFce, or VTWM and you'll be fine. -- -- Skylar Thompson (skylar@cs.earlham.edu) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/
