SD/SDHC card class and Linux size

I've searched the element 14 site and didn't find anything about the suggested class of the SD/SDHC card. Also, what is the Linux OS size? I've never designed an embedded system using a standard OS and would like to know how much memory it takes up so I have a feeling as to what to expect when coding for my project. I've done mostly 8051 derivative work in assembler.

Thanks, Jeff

Suggestion is over 2 Gb, but personally I'm going for 4, more space for additional stuff later on, multi purpose etc.

On the RPi wiki, there is some information about cards that have worked and been tested if you want a starting point.

Richard,

Thanks for mentioning the wiki. I just found it and bookmarked it. I just didn't see a reference to it. I must be blind.

Everyone else, thanks a lot for your replies.
