I currently use 60 MB for Coherent.  I started with 20 MB, then realized that
was just too small.  Then I added another 20 MB - filled that up in two
weeks.  Now, I have replaced one of the 20s with a 40 and have 60 MB.
But I just got CNews running and /root only has 10 MB left.  I'll be
adding another 50 next week, for a total of 90 MB.  Once you start getting
things going, that space goes fast.  If people can afford it, start with
at least 40 for Coherent and see where it goes.  If you want to run news,
START with 80.  60 MB for 10 days of mail is quite a lot.
