What kind of moron installs Windows 2000 on a 2 gigabyte disk?

Could be worse...I have servers running Win2k on 2 gig system-partitions. I can't patch or upgrade anything because they have no free space left. Thankfully I'm about 2 weeks out from replacing one of them, and a month from replacing another and rebuilding the last one.

/*Hehehe*/

The same kind of moron that installs WinME on a 486/90 (16MB/1GB)?

*nods* This is a partition on my laptop.

Re: /*Hehehe*/

At least I've never done that.

2GB is doable, if you don't intend to do a lot with it. I have a generic win2k build with office 2k in it floating around and its about 1.7GB Still isn't something I'd recommend though.

Mostly, writing and surfing. I really do need to clean out the images, though.

All of the music and Files from the Past are on another partition.

There was a time when Linux was heaven-sent. Today even Linux, to build a work environment as opposed to dedicated box such as router seems to require gigas of disk, gigas of RAM, and gigas of hertzes.

I still staunchly believe it is possible to have a decent operating system running on 4 MB of RAM from 100 MB of disk -- with much of disk being user files, with processor whose speed is in tens of megahertz. Not talking about graphic desktop, most likely, though. And of course nobody can live without an glittery-prettily all-singing, all-dancing GUI.

I miss my father's little portable. He gave it to a Russian colleague, though, so it's seeing good use.

(That may, indeed, have been the package that was labeled, "To Russia, With Love". His colleague/friend requested that please, he refrain from such jokes in the future, as security had questioned him closely.)

I've done that - AND IT WORKED!

Win2K server, even. That machine was my router for a year.

Perhaps I should rephrase. What kind of moron would install Windows 2k on a 2 gig partition and then used that partition nearly exclusively as their working computer for the better part of two years if not more?


This kind. The Lunatic kind.

The same kind of moron who uses a 2 GB disk at all. :-)

That would be the kind of moron who's a slacker with a 2000 Dell Latitude CPt with a 6g HD who'd planned to make the sucker dual boot with Linux and partitioned accordingly, but never got around to putting on the Linux bits.
