• man, i'm incredibly impressed with linux right now.  i have every type of program installed on kubuntu that i have installed on windows [office suite, web development environment, cd ripper, media player, cd/dvd burner,...etc].  my windows drive takes up 15GB, while my linux drive takes up just less than 2GB.  that's a 13GB difference, there folks!!  now, to be fair, linux doesn't need to have an antivirus suite - so let's be generous and take off 300MB for that.  also, visual studio .net 2005 beta takes up a very sizeable portion of my HD, so we'll be generous again and take off 1.5GB for that.  i have 3 games installed in windows [starcraft, quake III, and savage], so i'll give the 3 of them together 1.2GB off.  now, that's a total of 3GB worth of exceptions [being very generous].  that still leaves 10GB of extraneous windows bloating.  disgusting, isn't it?
