The problem is that "typical" is pretty much a meaningless term. Typical all-in-one network server? Typical developer desktop? Typical end-user desktop? Typical web server? Etc. You can install a usable system on 500Meg. 1.2 gig will be ok for a for an end user workstation, or a "developer" workstation installation so you can look over the sources and play with a compiler. That might be a little tight if you want to do develop your own stuff on the system, though. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Unix/FreeBSD consultant, email for more information.
