Wow.  On the windows 98 stations and the linux station, 4 gigs feels cramped.
(I'm sorry about the windows guys.  One is my sisters machine.  The other is
for running PocketSmalltalk and Squeak.  PocketSmalltalk currently is GPLed, 
but Windows only, and Squeak is just better supported under windows).

I do manage to make do with small disks in auxillary servers since they either
just don't need much (the NAT/firewall box) or they pull all data from the
file server (the boot server now, and probably the database server that I
want).
