Depends on how much hits your server get. For a small system, about 250MB would suffice, something like Lycos or the like needs gigabytes. If you can afford an extra disk, just buy one. Even 1GB will be more than enough for just web server logs and the like ;) HTH -Christoph Sold To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
