One thing I'm surprised has gone unsaid in this discussion -- keep some extra space for testing new distributions. Even with my meager total of 330MB (yes, I'm adding another drive RSN) I have enough space to install a minimal system with the stuff that's really important to me, like uucp and smail, so I don't inconvenience myself by doing a major upgrade only to find out it doesn't work.
With 4GB you should be able to leave enough space to install X and whatever else you use a lot. You can always keep the spare partition mounted as /tmp or something when you're not testing in it. -- Bill Roman ([EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED]) running linux -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
