Hi Alexander, It takes up as much space as you need it to. It really depends on what files you have installed, but calculate that a XFCE based chroot with open office, firefox, and various multimedia tools will probably take up to 600 MB and a full edubuntu desktop install will probably take up to 1 gig. It takes slighltly longer than a traditional thin client ltsp-update-image, but its still very reasonable.
