Re: [aclug-L] How much disk space??

[Mohammad K Islam <sohel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

basically want to install ftp+mail+web. I want to cionfigure it as
mail/web server for my intranet and possibly as a gateway to the internet.
No XWindows.  

So i guess 300/500M would be OK? I am planning to put a 1Gig disk in it
anyway. 

Thanks for the reply.

Best,

sohel
