Look a virgin install of ubuntu 9.04 takes like 4GB but installing all the apps that you need is like 6gb and the swap partition. I put ubuntu on a pendrive 8GB and run pretty fine. Freezes sometimes and get stuck but is perfect for no make a partition or use wubi. If you want to try gets Sun's VM and run it on windows. Hope be helpful chepe263 [sorry for my poor english]
