I think you mean disk space.  Looks like about 1.3 GB left over,
with the default system and software installed.

I haven't gotten around to this yet, but will most likely replace
Adobe Acrobat Reader [116 MB?!?] with the Evince document viewer
[817 K download, and it handles PS and PDF].  I'm not so sure
about the OpenOffice.org suite though.  Some of it may prove
useful, so I'm reluctant to remove any of it, but until now
Abiword's been all the word processor I really needed.
