Hi,
I'm building a new system and planning to dual boot ubuntu 9.04/Win7. I'm pretty sure ubuntu will be my main os for the future, but concerned about potential hardware issues, hence the dual booting. I'm not a PC gamer and mainly run loads of applications, IDE's, web browsers, etc
Currently I have a new 1TB drive and wondered how it's best to partition it?
I was thinking...
80GB NTFS for Win7
80GB Ext3 for Ubuntu
4GB Swap
Rest for Data/Photos/Music/Video/Vm
That seem reasonable? I'm planning to use the gparted partition tool to create the partitions.
Thanks,
Scott
