For an install of ubuntu or MEPIS you need a small root partition of about 5 Gb, a linux/swap formatted partition of 512Mb or bigger (I use 1 Gb for swap.) and a home partition of at least 5 gb. That will leave you five gb that you could use for the server.

Re: Booting with lilo and chainloading 16 Years Ago by jbennet Personally i think that anyone who calls themselves a server admin aught to know how and when to use root access responsibly. Re: Booting with lilo and chainloading 16 Years Ago by Sturm isnt sudo only useful if you want to only run one command as root? When I am cleaning or fixing up my home system I usually just use su. Presumably as sys admin would need root privileges for a extended period of time, therefore making sudo a bit inefficient.
