I can't find any info about how much space Raspbian uses.

I have checked the wikipedia article about it and the official FAQ.

Mine has a few packages added, but roughly around 1.6gb - which is why a 2gb card is recommended as a minimum.

When i first got my pi, i had a bunch of books about how to get it up and running, and most of them said to get at LEAST a 1 Gb or 4 Gb sd card. a great way to get started with the pi is with the MAKE: Getting started with raspberry pi book.

this is what one of the books looks like
