RedHat takes a boatload of space (compared to Debian).  If you want a
pretty complete install, and then you need a good amount of extra space
for doing upgrades, so figure 4GB or more + your personal files.  More
if you have the disk space available.

For most systems either one works.  I have one oddball machine with one
SCSI drive and one IDE drive.  It needs to boot from the SCSI drive and
GRUB just couldn't do it, LILO works great.  GRUB is a little prettier.
