I ask cause in the windows world, the OS usually eats up around 10GB

again thanks
Linux distros can be as small as a floppy disk, or as big as 120GB. Remember, Linux is just the kernel. It's the extra software that it comes with that takes up lots of space, but usually, mainstream distros take up like 4-6GB.
