Couldn't install RH with only 8mb, install bombed out, so I had a useless 
computer until I got deb. Also I couldn't get RH onto a HDD less than 
500mb, I had RAID spanning of 2 or 3 500mb disks until I got my 4GB. Deb 
made it easier by only installing what I wanted.

A lot more ram and HDD space than my main comp, no wonder it works a dream. 
32Mb ram and 4Gb HDD. Partion is as follows
C:\     1Gb for W2K
/boot   50Mb
/       2.75GB I think in total if I add all the partions other than boot. 
( can't find out size as I'm on my dads w2k box & I didn't set up my box 
partions
swap    250mb
