Just in case you need...

You probably need 5GB at least.
This is my current disk usage on LilyDev (yes, 24GB is way too much, 
but I have a lot of space on my work PC):

$ df -h /
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 24G 4.7G 18G 22% /


The easiest way to install virtual environments in Linux IMO is 
libvirt¹.

virt-install --name LilyDev4.1 --memory 1000 --cdrom /path/to/file.iso 
--disk size=6

(that is, 1GB of RAM and 6GB of space disk)

And you follow the instructions to install it.

Then you can fire it up whenever you want with:

virsh start LilyDev4.1
virt-viewer LilyDev4.1
