Size of Operating Systems on Hard Disk

[anon1]

Some people don't quite understand the sizes of popular operating systems, when installed on the hard disk. I know that I was looking for size specifications when looking for an operating system to install on a certain hard disk. If you have experience, and know the amount of storage with that specific operating sysem, bold the operating system title, and then unbold the size next to it.

Win 3.1
Win 95
Win 98
Win 2000
Win XP
Suse 9.2
Slackware 10.1
Ubuntu
Linspire 4.5
Mandriva 10.1

Win 3.1 ~15MB, although it requires at least MS-DOS 6.22 to boot, so tack on another few megs.
Win 95 b ~80MB
Win 98 SE ~300MB
Win 2000 Pro ~720MB with no service packs. After SP4, it's around 1GB.
Win XP Pro, ~1.2GB with SP2.
Suse 9.2
Slackware 10.1
Ubuntu
Linspire 4.5
Mandriva 10.1
