Hi all,
If all goes to plan by Tuesday I'll have myself a spare 150GB HDD. I've download the 64bit-AMD Kubuntu ISO and plan to install it on there. During the install phase I'm going to manually set the partition table (I don't like the auto reformat option because I don't know how it's allocating the space, etc.) and I'd like some suggestions from people that have actually used this O/S (or another Linux variant) before as I haven't really got a clue.
One requirement is that I'll want a chunk of it formatted in FAT32 so I can transfer files between Windows and Kubuntu (I'll be dual-booting on the single PC).
I'll just throw some figures out there and tell me what you think:
swap - 5GB
/share (FAT32) - 20GB
/boot - 1GB
/root 124GB
Any more partitions I should allocate for that could come in use? Also I wasn't sure what to select for type of partition for each (Main or Extended)... any help with this?
Thanks for your suggestions,
Averick
