Agreed.  My other laptop has to dual-boot with XP.  However, I only require it
for one application.  I partitioned it with 8GB for XP system (no data) and to
my surprise the most basic install filled it to danger point.  I could
certainly run a modern linux distro, with more applications, in the same
space.

More importantly, in linux, if you think something does install too much, you
do have a choice.
