a question about distro size?

[Karen Lewellen]

> Greetings all,
  Granted this wisdom may be dated, but ages back the guidance was, at least
  with Debian, to install the full server unless one was strong in customizing
  since that way you had all of the tools you needed.
  This may have changed but if one prefers a fully loaded package distribution,
  how much hard drive space should one anticipate needing? Just a general guess
  is fine.
  Thanks,
  Karen
