how do I partition 500gb?
 

Am new to fedora. I need to partion my entire 500 gb hdd for fedora. Bt confused with the mount points.
So how much gb I wil gv for ,
/
/boot
Swap
/home

In windows I will partition in following manner,
C; 200gb
D-to store films n songs -100gb
E-for study materials-100gb
F-for softwares -100

According with this how will I partition in fedora which gives same effect of windows partition like above?

I recommend that you do not set up a separate /boot partition. I recommend the following partition scheme for you:

/ - 20gb

swap - 1gb

/home - 479gb

You will keep your songs, films, study materials, and software all in different directories in /home/username.

Bt can't I partion the remaining hdd?
Home/foldername.
It will create only folders .I want different partitions?

And I need to master in linux systems.so fedora is the best option?or debian?

First, write down why you want different partitions, and what having each partition seperate will gain you. If you can't write down your reasoning and expected benefits, then you don't need all those partitions.

There are many good reasons to partition a system. These reasons are mostly applicable for a multi-user production system. And there are just as many good reasons not to partition. These reasons are mostly applicable for a single-user home desktop system. In many situations, hard partitioning can cause more problems than it solves. This is due to not being able to accurately predict the future needs and expansion of your system. If you need the benefits of partitioning, but don't want the limitations hard partitioning can bring, then investigate "LVM".
