New UDB Drive

I recently purchased a UDB that has no internal Hard Drive. I didn't
thik it would be a bad deal because I figured that 340mb would be a
little small and I would install a bit bigger one. With all the talk
about replacing the internal drive I'm beginning to see that I was right
that 340mb would be too small. I am also seing that I might have been
wrong to think that putting a drive in it would not be a big deal.

Since I have bought the box this way, and I cannot use it without a hard
drive, I am wondering if I would be better off to not install an internal
drive at all, and just buy an external hd to hook up to it. Portability
isn't a necessity for me, but I thought it might be kind of nice. Also
I'm wondering how big of a hard drive is big enough. obviously the
answer is always "buy as big of a hard drive as you can afford". I
wondering what the approximate amount of disk space taken up by red hat
linux and x windows is. I will then be able to guage how big of a hard
drive is reasonable for me to buy.
