Stupid Question by mpicklesimer 2001-07-19 07:15:32
I've got a 30 GB drive in my computer at work and want to play around with Linux, but I still need my Win2k partition. I think I can get away with setting up 10GB for Linux and leave the other 20GB to Windoze. Any reccomendations as to how I should partition this? I know you're supposed to have at least twice the amount of RAM set up as your swap partition. So that means 512MB is gone there. Any recommendations for the other partitions?
