Hmm.. 5-10gb each for Activision, Ubisoft, Capcom, Lucasarts, IdSoftware. Plus a couple dozen smaller folders..

I've got plenty of apps... I guess Linux is just smaller than bloated Vista.

the total (of 2 partitions) is 180Gb, but mainly because all games are installed in the program files folder. I dont have a lot of music (nor movies) on this pc, its only games (and office etc)

A paltry 444 MB

I'm very OCD with partitions and installed software has it's own.

Nah, I think it's just your lack of real games over there.

They take up space ya know! (not counting wine)

Running Xp BTW, vista theme installed cause I like the look.

I didn't mention my steam folder, 20Gbs alone!

A couple of those Gb's belong to the HL games you gifted me.
