Default Ubuntu.

I have just ordered a Linux distro of Ubuntu, and I was wondering a few things. First, how much disk space does this distro of Linux (Ubuntu), take up? Secondly, what are the MINIMUM requirements for this distro?

jakec is on a distinguished road

Default

Desktop - 256 mb ram / 3 gb HDD

Server - 64 mb ram / 500 mb hdd

Desktop

A standard desktop box, including a full desktop environment, sound, office suite, email clients, etc. You'll need about 3 gigabytes of hard drive space.

Server

This is a small server profile, which provides a common base for all sorts of server applications. It's minimal and designed to have the desired services added on top, such as file/print services, web hosting, email hosting, etc. For these services at least 500MB of disk space will suffice, but consider adding more space depending on the services you'd like to host with your server.
