[Cialug] Not that big? (Was Command Line Linux)

[David Champion]

I was thinking "not that big" by modern standards... what's the smallest 
HD you can buy these days, like 250gb?

If you can't install Ubuntu server (I don't know, haven't tried it, but 
I suspect you can) with no GUI, you can always install Debian... or any 
one of the other distros.
