A full install of Suse Linux 9.0 takes up 5.1 GB. Damn! I allocated 4 GB on my laptop. Picking and choosing the packages brought me down to 3 GB, but still there are so many package interdependencies, you can hardly remove anything. In reality the only thing I need on the system is, KDE, WindowMaker, Mozilla, Kopete, Compiler, KDevelop, and something to play multimedia with like Mplayer. That should not take up 3GB! The one thing I hate about the major distributioins of Linux! They are so BLOATED!

Windows XP is Bloated too! 1.5 GB, and all I had was the OS with all the patches installed. Thats crazy!
