I just did a Kubuntu install, taking defaults for most things, but
putting /home, /var and swap in their own partitions. With the
standard stuff plus qemu, Thunderbird, Firefox and a few others, / is
taking 2.33 GB.
I once had an incident with Slackware 10 that suggested that if I
installed *EVERYTHING* in the release it would have needed about 4GB
in / . All the stuff I want to use (including KDE, gcc, ...) fits
into 2GB in / partition.
