Message-ID: <25563.26effeff@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu> Date: 14 Sep 90 02:49:51 GMT Organization: University of Kansas Academic Computing Services Lines: 15 Hi Folks: We intend to buy a workstation. Due to our tight budget, we have to consider cost-performance (or cost-effect). The major factor bothers us is what size of hard drive should we need. So I would like to ask: 1. How many MBytes needed for UNIX system / developer? 2. How many Mbytes needed for TCP/IP system / developer? 3. How many MBytes needed for NFS system / developer? 4. How many Mbytes needed for X window system / developer? 5. How many Mbytes needed for C compiler / developer? Any answers appreciated. Jian Q. Li jian@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu
