FWIW, my SBS is installed on an 8 GB c: partition with 1.25 GB free, and I
don't have any problems. Obviously when I migrate to new hardware I'll go
with a much bigger partition, and this does require me to monitor free space
more closely than I'd like, but I don't see it as an issue I need to address
until it's convenient to do so.
