yes, surely your disks are greeping

hm - my first notebook went from FC5 to F13 every dist-upgrade
until the machine decided to die

should not be the problem

most of my virtual machines are limitet to something like that

mobile internet would be faster :-)

uuhm something got wrong here
1,734 packages

on the workstations the same, they do not have
devel-packages but desktop-stuff

however, 8 GB is the maximum used space for / an oll machines
my co-developer has 3,000 packages on his notebook (x86_64 and
way too much i686 crap) and a dist-upgrades takes only few
hours
