[Staffslug] Quick Partition Question..
Hi guys - I have a 40GB HDD on my HP TC1100 slate PC and wanted to install
Linux as as I'm sick of fiddling with Live CD's - I flit between 10 of them
and never stick any of them out.
I need to leave 15GB for Windows and wanted to divvy up the remaining 25GB.
I have 512MB RAM so the swap is going to be 1024MB
Would I be OK doing 15GB for the FAT32 shared partition, 1GB for swap, 4GB
for /, 5GB for /home.
I intend to put Gentoo on there to use and understand the (in) famous
package manager which I've heard is top class.

Been there got the tee shirt, my favorite though (Done it here loads
of times) is having to use Linux to fix/access a Windows box
Now that is funny
