I've used Linux on drives as big as 30 gigs and still it keeps on working. If you want to manually asign partitions I typically use fdisk, and make a decent sized partition for boot, a decent sized swop, and perhaps 5 gb or so for applications. The rest you could use for storing books, downloads, mp3's, and so on. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Villa" To: Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 3:54 AM Subject: Lynux machine only > I am setting a system that I plan to use for lynux primarily.
