I have a few questions on to dual boot an O/S with LInux Ubuntu and Windows Xp:
1) Which should be installed first and should Windows be on the C: partition and say Ubuntu on the D:\ partition...I'm not sure how all this works.
2) I have a windows partition at the moment and other partitions for music, videos, data etc. Would these partitions be detected in Windows O.S and then in the Ubuntu O/S when I restart my computer and switch to that O/S and be able to access and edit the date there? Example a Open Office file format stored on the E: drive coudl be accessed during Windows or Ubuntu on a certain partition?
And If I download say a game patch whilst I'm suing Ubuntu, I store it on a partition, I assume it then can be access in the windows O/S upon restart?
3) Can the latest LInux Ubunto be skinned a little bit as *** brown/creamish look is a little dull and drab in my opinion.
4) I have a 200GB HDD. How much do you think should be assigned to Windows (games)/Ubuntu (applications and websurfing) /other partitions:
- Windows: 90GB I install all software at the moment on the O/S partition rarther than a seperate partion for games/applications.
- Ubuntu: 40GB
- Data - 20GB
- Music: 20 GB
- Videos 10GB
- Downloads 10GB
5) What advantages does "Dapper Drake" have over XP?
At the moment I must only have about 50GB stored on my HDD.
Hope you guys understand that lol and thanks for any help.
