hmm. I thought he was asking about WINDOWs fitting. But while we're on the topic of Linux fitting, here's my Linux DF for / and /home: /dev/sda2 37G 26G 9.6G 73% / /dev/sdb2 1.8T 1.7T 18G 99% /home So, ignoring home, my laptop Linux Mint fits fine in 30G. And I've got LOTS of 'junk' loaded. At my last job, I allocated around 30G for the Linux partition, if I remember right, which was pretty much a default install of Linux Mint. That being said, here are some sizes for the virtual PCs I've created for the class I teach: Ubuntu2.2: 28.92 GB Ubuntu2.2: 25.85 GB. MicroOS: 34.46GB EdUbuntu: 24.0GB CentOS: 30.15GB Note that these were 'mostly' 'standard' installs, but obviously YMMV! (especially since MY mileage varied!) Now, I also did a Windows install, W11 or W10 I think, and I don't think I added much to it, and it took 50.0GB So, for Windows I agree that you're probably out of luck getting it in to 30GB! ;-) On Tue, May 28, 2024 at 14:02, Steve Litt via PLUG-discuss wrote: > z via PLUG-discuss said on Tue, 28 May 2024 12:47:41 -0500 (CDT) > > >> >> May 28, 2024 12:42:39 Michael via PLUG-discuss >> > >: >> >>> I got a 30 GB drive.
