Wise Partitioning Scheme?
Just playing around with a new setup and I came up with something, wondering if it a good idea. I've got 200G to work with and I want to triple boot XP and two Linux distros.
Primary partition: 30G FAT32 for windows Extended partition: 20G for / and /home Logical Part 1: 8G for first Linux / Logical Part 2: 2G for /home (only going to be saving config files) Logical Part 3: 8G for second Linux / Logical Part 4: 2G for /home Primary partition: 2G for linux swap Primary partition: 135G to store data that can be shared between both linux distros. Do you think this will work? |
That should work just fine, though it may be more swap than you really need. It depends on how much RAM you have, and what you do a lot of on the computer.
If RAM is 1 gig or more, you can probably get by just fine with 512 meg of swap. |
