My Projected Partition Sizes: what do you think?
by Pen guin from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54Q5K)
As it stands know, the entire distro ins in one h.u.g.e. partition 240 GB worth...
So, I'm thinking it might be better to put the install in 3(?) separate partitions. <- As far as that goes, and the videos I've seen, they seem to be making only 3 partitions.(Root, Home, and Swap).
At any rate, I was thinking of these sizes, and in this order...
Root 40GB
Home 50GB
Swap 32GB
With over a 100 GB's unalllocated space, I presume I could always shrink/expand the partitions, if required, right?
If you have any suggestions for improvement, or what have you, don't be shy...
