I can install a complete FreeBSD system in way less disk space than any
Linux distro except possibly for Debian. (I once installed an older
FreeBSD 2.x system onto a 386sx machine with two 40MB (yes MEGAbyte)
hard drives to be a name server at a company I worked for once. It
worked great.)
If you install SRC and PORTS, it'll take up a lot of space, because
that's kind of like (FreeBSD lovers don't kill me for the inaccurate
metaphor) having the whole Debian repository on your local hard drive,
but neither of those is stricly necessary unless you want to be able to
rebuild the entire system from source. (i.e. the FreeBSD classic "make
world")
Gentoo's "portage" system is a direct ripoff (in the good sense) of
FreeBSD's "ports" system.
