</div>So the consensus is an 8GB card should be enough, and an SD class 6<br>
(6MB/S) is fast enough for a system drive?<br>
It is understood the boot up time is irrelevant because the machine runs<br>
24/7 anyway.<br>

My system has a 10GB root partition which is 80% full, but I run Gentoo which chews up a couple of gig in package management. If you're using a distro with binary packages and only running Myth I think you'll be fine with 8GB.<br>
