Correct.  The amount of space needed depends upon what you want
to do.  Useful Linux server configurations can fit in 600MB,
plus space for whatever data is needed.  We have a gateway
server at one site which does DNS, email, routing, dialup, and
web proxy cache - on a 1.3GB hard drive in an old P75 with 40MB
RAM.  The software on it is all up to date - Fedora in that
case but Ubuntu and Debian are about the same size.
