Hard disk requirements

[uwe]

Audrey,

it would be good to know what you plan to do with your laptop to give
you some help.

if you plan to use it as a server which other computers can connect to,
then you need more power and a faster disk would be an advantage. if you
use the laptop stand-alone to try out edubuntu then you will only need a
regular harddisk like you would find in any store.

the size also depends on what you want to do. the edubuntu itself you
won't need more than 10GB I think. 6 would maybe be sufficient also. but
if you have many computers connecting or you want to store video or
fotos on the laptop, then you will need a bigger one.

but let me give you an example. I built a edubuntu (LTSP) server for our
local school. it serves at may 16 children and computers at the same
time. I bought a regular 500GB disk for a local school and it performs
fine.

hope this helps a bit. otherwise let us know a little bit more of your
setup or intentions.

rgds,

uwe
