These are small hard drives.   Most of the ones I've seen are much 
bigger.  I've just finished my new home workstation.  Using it to 
write to you.  I've got a 256Mb swap partition...  27Gb HD..... most 
of it is the home partition...  2.5Gb of /usr ...  just for luck.    
Seems to be working fine with a 1.2 Ghz AMD cpu and an ECS m/b.

Shouldn't be a problem with that either.

Thanks
