	Dear John,

That is a difficult question. On our computer EMBOSS itself (without the 
sequence databases but with the motif databases) takes 250 Mbyte. The space your 
users need depends much on whether they are just grandmotherwise analyzing some 
sequences of their interest or whether they are in complete genome high 
throughput analysis. On our computer there is for the moment 49 Gbyte used 
(about 250 users, but not all are very active).
