Linux systems don't have to be big. I have two (an
iPAQ and mini-itx)
that are fully functional Linux systems running off 32MB (yes M not G)
"disks". The iPAQ runs off the internal memory and the mini-itx
boots off a 126MB USB key which is current partitioned down to 32MB.
To make a very nice file server, just add some hard drive for the
data....
Take a look at www.handhelds.org for more in the iPAQ and
http://www.8ung.at/spblinux/ for how to get Linux on a USB key.
Not to mention Tom's Root Boot diskette... http://www.toms.net/rb/ The
most Linux on a floppy...
Or Damn Small Linux... http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ 50 Meg ISO with a
GUI, web browser, ftp client, mp3 player, spreadsheet, email client,
word processor, file mamnger, yadda yadda yadda...
Or Linux-BBC... (Bootable Business Card CD sized)

Etc...
