I don't know about it being a big waste...I don't really know what I 
*really* need. What I like is playing around with packages --- install 
this, remove that, repeat... so having everything local is a nice plus. 
And I have both PC and Mac hardware, so having packages for each 
platform is also nice.

It should also work well for the next LUG install-fest. I've been 
talking to people about Ubuntu and they all seem keen to give it a try. 
We don't have internet access where we meet and my little box will be 
able to get everyone up and going with all the stuff they could want. 
Should be fun!

Anyway, thanks for the link. :-) I have enough space for now, but not 
for Hoary. :-( Oh, well. Drives are cheap.
