will windows fit?

[rusty]

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! ;-)
