I'm running Red Hat 4.0 on a laptop with a 203Mb disk. I have
16Mb reserved for swap, the rest is for system files and my
data. After the install, I ~30Mb left. I don't install the kernel
sources (I can build on another machine), but I do install the
networking stuff and X client software.

As far as getting started, dredge up $30 and get the InfoMagic
Linux Developer's Resource CD set. It has 3 different distributions
and a lot of documentation on it.
