Centos – How much disk space to install CentOS

centosdisk-space-utilizationjava

What is the minimum amount of diskspace a CentOS system, plus the java virtual machine, needs to be installed?

Desktop interface is not needed.

4 GB should be sufficient for /. Add another 4 GB for /var. So in sum 8 GB should be enough (I use no swapspace).

That`s what I use as standard for our virtual CentOS 5 machines. They normally never hit the 80% mark in that setup.
