How much space are you using?

I am curious to know how much drive space you are using for a simple Desktop Gentoo system? I ask because it seems larger than I wanted (although much smaller than Mandrake) and I havent installed Qt or KDE but now that they have announced new builds I will probably wait a while. So far it looks like I have used a little over a gig of hard drive space.

So how about you?

I'm using about 2.7 gigs, not counting /home. This is with kde3, j2sdk 1.3 and mozilla installed.

160 GB:)

Ok, to clarify that: That's the total available diskspace. Here's the output from df:

Hell, i have used 5gigs of a 13gig partition. I don't know what it was right after getting gentoo installed. Since then I have installed KDE, Fluxbox, Gnome (for deps). Xine, some games including Q3A and UT. Evolution for email and Gaim for IM's. Ohh and KOffice. Prolly some other small things as well.

I use approx 4.5Gb but portage dir (distfiles + packages) is about 1.5Gb so its 3Gb, I have compiled everything except mozilla with gcc 3.1 (big packages installed, gcc 2.95.3 & 3.1, X, Gnome2, Mozilla, Nautilus, wine, tetex, emacs, ....), my debian was about 1.6Gb, but well thats without gcc 3.1 and all development libs.

I'm pretty anal about how clean I keep my computer. Well the boot drive anyways storage drives are always messy and bloated with stuff. Anyways with a pretty standard install of X, KDE, mozilla, evolution etc (dont use gnome..) I use around 1.6gb of space. I have /home /var /tmp etc all on my / partition. I dont really care to have umpteen partitions running around so thats why I have one partition.. Anyways enough mindless ramble heres the df -h output.

1.7 Gb not counting my home directory.

I have not installed KDE or Gnome.. Only strictly necessary parts (when portage needs something for a dependency). My window manager is exclusively Xfce

1.6 GB here, I wonder what it would be without the portage tree and source files, though....

...off to calculate

/dev/hda14 2.0G 145M 1.8G 8% /tmp

So about 12gigs for Linux and about 4gigs used (included /home)

About 2.4GB HD space in use now..

When compiling it gets up to 3 - 3.5 GB

A typical gentoo desktop with X, fluxbox, gtk with a few apps is right under 800Megs.

I'm personally very close to just allocating my next drive (the 120 gigger) entirely to Linux and just creating a VM for Windows. i do it now, but partition wise it's on it's own.

but, as of right now, my entire gentoo setup with everything I could ever need under the sun is 2.7 gigs. Not including my home directory which has a zillion and a half tarballs I keep there for fiddling with.

Well, Gentoo + MP3s + VMware (Win2k workstation, FreeBSD box to play with, and two previous workstations) came out to 31 GB. Then, I toasted the two previous workstations, and am currently "shrinking" my workstation's virtual drive (defragging and zeroing so VMware can reclaim space; virtual diskies work like a VMM). Once it completes, Gentoo + MP3s + Win2k (with Office 2000, Developer Studio 6, and more) should come out somewhere around 18 GB.

[edit] Scratch that, 14.5 GB. Maybe I should shrink more often

So, how would you guys/gals make backups of these large partitions?

I always try to keep my Linux systems below 1.3 GB so that a full backup (of the live system) fits on two CD-R's.

Anyone?
