If you are concerned about disc useage. Windows 2000/xp take about 1.5 gig full install. Firewall/anitvirus ~ 200 MB. Webserver stuff ~ 500Meg(at most). that would leave you 3 gig for content which is tonnes for pics/videoes/animations if you ask me.

Edit: for linux you are looking at a smaller install base for the OS as long as you get rid of stuff you dont need. so you might get another gig out of it.
