Hi,
If you want to save disk space you might want to experiment with jpeg
compressed tiff files. Read "About JPEG compression of RGB images" from
http://gdal.org/frmt_gtiff.html
Jpeg compression saves easily 90 percent of the space needed. Naturally if you
will need lossless quality for some use it will not be an option. And I do not
know if Geoserver even likes such tiff files because I am running WMS from
Mapserver but you were asking for tips.

My trial run (for 10 photos) will be this..
1. Desktop: fwtools > Gdal_merge - make one photo from the 10
2. Desktop: fwtools > gdal_translate - Transform from ETRS89 to WGS84
3. Upload file(s) to my ubuntu server
4. Configure and serve in geoserver
Any tips welcome.
Thanks,
Rob

Ciao Robert,
hold on a sec.
When you say uploading, you mean configuring GeoServer to serve data
or upload to a remote server and then configure?
Regards,
Simone Giannecchini
