Ubuntu is huge

[Shadowmeph]

I became impatient today waiting for my NH-U9DO A3 so I installed my 2cpu and fired up my FOlding machine. I was searching around trying to find a decent system monitor so I could see the temperatures of my cpus when I noticed that Ububtu is around 20Gb .
@0 Gb what the hell is that this is Linux not Windows, I installed the newest Ubuntu and Fah and that turned out to be 20 Gb thats huge. whtever happened to 5-6 gb those where the days.
I am thinking of Copying all my Fah files and just do a fresh install of Arch using this guide ( with out the VMware part lol) How-To: Install Arch Linux 64bit in VMWare for SMP Folding - EXTREME Overclocking Forums and then reinstall Fah then thekraken.
Ubuntu seemed a little slow I thought that maybe I was just used to my 3.8 Ghz on my main PC but now I am starting to think it is partly becasue all of the Bloatness in Ubuntu.

I personally hate the new ubuntu, the UI is junk. I liked it 10.04 or so the old gnome setup. Guess I'll stick with mint.

Both my folders use Ubuntu 11.04. Both have File System(s) of less than 3Gb in size.

its all in what you install. i can install linux under 3gb easily

Thats the funning thing I had thought I installed Linux Ubuntu to fah and thekraken that was it , then I looked at my little laptop drives size and it shows 55GB total 30GB free .
I am so Rusty with Linux I am trying to find the temperature on this Motherboard and I can't find the Sensor so I can add it to my conky config

[enaberif]

you will need to install lmsensors for temps.

Arch is amazing, install is like 700mb

[Shadowmeph]

it is kind of funny because Arch was the Second Linux I ever used and the last time I went to install it I failed lol

Yeah arch is a total bitch to install, but once you have it running and configured its oh-so satisfying ;)
