Hi Paul:

Doing text only, 2g fine.
Doing simple graphics, pictures, audio, 20g probably ok (comfort at about
80g).
Doing video - think 200g (and have a good DVD writer, a 1g flash drive,
USB2, and plans for FDDI  and a fast terabyte or two if you think HD).

Whatever you get now you will probably add to in the future.  Understand the
partitioning and volume management processes and you will do very well.

My 2 cents,

Tod
