Something like "6GB minimum, 12+GB recommended" would be good here. The
issue is that an install will *barely* fit in 6GB, but major updates will
be impossible and utility as a private workstation will be limited.

My understanding from wdc is that the PXE support on newer gx620 systems
does work, but he should confirm that. (Bill?)
Also, this answer:

...is basically obsolete. I'd change the answer part to:
The Dell GX620 has a newer SATA interface than older versions of the
Athena installer recognize. Use the version 5a (released August 2006)
or newer install media.
