A matter of necessity, not preference.
The Inspiron only has an 18GB hard drive and I needed to quickly
put on Fedora to have some linux tools on my laptop. 5GB was all
the free space I could squeeze out.
And I'm saving up for a new laptop, so I can't see spending the
money for either a larger hard drive or more RAM. But it seems to
work fine for doing some C/C++ builds in Eclipse.
