Triple boot - XP/Bordeaux/Dapper
Guys,
Ive started afresh creating partitions and installing stuff. I have two harddisks. Code:
1) SATA 80 - Windows Essentially ive planned to use 60gb for FC5/U6_b2 and the remaining 20gb i would like to keep unallocated (i plan to install a different linux later). My questions are : Quote:
WARM REGARDS Thanks PS: Just in case you are wondering why i botched up a perfectly working system and started afresh, it was more of an experiment in linux. I only started out in March. Now im pretty confident and willing to stick it.;) |
A) /root 5G
/swap 256M /root 2G /usr 4G /home whats left (I can tell you now, your goina get alot of opinions on this.) B) Can't say for sure, but I believe so. C) Shouldn't be. You'll only be using one Linux at a time. Therefore it isn't possiable for them to both try to access it at the same time. Besides, if your only running 256M of swap, you probably have enough ram that you'll never touch it anyway. D) It dosen't matter. E) Ubuntu is a nice choice, but my all means not the only. My favorite Debian based distro is Gentoo :D F) If I were you, I'd try one that you have no experience with, like the Debian based Ubuntu. Try slackware or an offshoot of that. Try a source based one like Gentoo, it definatly different that the rpm style your used to. Have fun and don't limit yourself. Install one, if you don't like it, install another. |
