I remember installing different Linux distributions on 6-8 GB of space and having no problem... it depends on what you are trying to do and what flavor you want to install.

Your usage dictates the space needed (and its not just programs installed & used). Less space means you need more regular maintenance, being more likely to come across common problems here (no space for software upgrades). Do you plan to nuke & start again instead of release-upgrade? as the needed footprint is far smaller (you don't need for installed packages + compressed newer which get expanded). There are (time) costs with too small a space you may discover.
