Second, Linux is L i n u x just so you know. What I would recommend is a partition setup like this. /dev/hda1 swap size 128 meg /dev/hda2 linux size 3 gig /dev/hda3 linux size *remainder of hard drive* Then use /dev/hda1 for your linux swap, /dev/hda1 for your root / partition where all your os will go on and finally /dev/hda3 as your /home partition. Everyone will have their own personal preferences such as mounting /usr/local on it's own partition or /var on it's own but this is up to you. Still others might just put everything on 1 huge partition. Just make sure you have a swap. Raul A.
