from http://www.redhat.com/commerce/hardware.html :
We recommend a minimum 16MB RAM and 500MB hard disk space for a typical
installation on SPARC and x86 processors. A custom installation can use
as little as 150 MB. Alpha hardware requirements are slightly higher
with a minimum of 24MB of RAM and 500MB of hard disk space. See the
requirements below for our pre-configured server and workstation
installation options.
That same page goes on to say:
Server Installation
You can install a server environment using only 450MB of hard disk
space; however, additional disk space will be required to support
deployed services. Selecting our automated server installation results
in a robust, general-purpose server configuration--requiring 1.7GB of
free disk space.
Workstation Installation
You can install a workstation using 850MB of hard disk space.
Selecting our automated workstation-class installation results in a
powerful, Internet-ready workstation using the GNOME or KDE graphical
desktop environment--requiring 850MB of free disk space.

Just for kicks, I found this at openbsd.org:
(http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html)
4.3 - How much space do I need for an OpenBSD installation?
The following are suggested sub-tree sizes for a full system install.
The numbers include enough extra space to permit you to run a typical
home system that is connected to the internet.
- For a multiuser system, you probably want to triple these values.
- If you plan to install a significant amount of third party software,
make your /usr parition large! At least triple these values!
- For a system that handles lots of email or web pages (stored,
respectively, in /var/mail and /var/www) you will want to make your
/var partition significantly larger.
- For a multiuser system which may generate lots of logs, you will
still want to make your /var partition significantly larger (/var/log).
As you read this, keep in mind that /usr and /usr/X11R6 are usually
both parts of the same filesystem, that is, /usr, as there is no big
advantage to making them into separate filesystems.
SYSTEM / /usr /var /usr/X11R6
sparc 40M 259M 24M 49M
