Anyway, I noticed during one of the installs, that it detected all three swap partitions, and didn't seem to bother distinguishing between them. Which brings me to my first question:
Do I need a separate swap partition for each linux version I have installed, or will they share the same one?
I also noticed some advice from someone on another forum, or perhaps a magazine blog. They said I should put /home onto a separate partition, as it will make my life easier. This makes sense (though I'd like to hear your opinions also), and I can probably even work out how to do that on my own
if I play around with it for a while, but I am wondering how that will interfere with the other distros that I may have installed at whatever time.Basically, I'm looking to reinstall everything, and I'm looking for advice on how best to partition everything. Here is the rough plan I have:
Total: 150gig drive (laptop)
Swap: 4gb
20gb free space on a partition which I will use to test other linux distros on, if I ever feel like doing so. I will probably have xubuntu on this most of the time, as a kind of backup OS.
Then the rest, divided into:
/home <-- what size?
/ <-- the main root partition where UE2.3 is installed - what size?
