With the option of picking an O/S for a virtual dedicated server, I would like to know if this is separate space from the 5 GB provided with the cheapo 19 dollar plan? I assume it is separate, but might as well be certain. Thanks :cool:

you get 5gb, and the OS is installed on to this 5gb

the largest linux install (fedora red hat FC3, this is) is 4gb a server install is 1 or 2gb at the most.
