First of all, hello, everyone!
I am coming from another distribution (I've had it with rpm and kde4...) and have just completed my first ubuntu installation.
Now I do have a couple of questions.
First. Here is how I've handled paritioning:
$ df -h
/dev/sda6 19G 2.5G 15G 15% /
tmpfs 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /lib/init/rw
varrun 1.8G 96K 1.8G 1% /var/run
varlock 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /var/lock
udev 1.8G 156K 1.8G 1% /dev
tmpfs 1.8G 84K 1.8G 1% /dev/shm
lrm 1.8G 2.2M 1.8G 1% /lib/modules/2.6.28-14-generic/volatile
/dev/sda5 441M 36M 383M 9% /boot
/dev/sda8 410G 219M 389G 1% /home
/dev/sr0 699M 699M 0 100% /media/cdrom0
Did I get it right with a 500 Mb boot, ~20Gb "/" (also have 8gb swap, - I am running on 4Gb RAM)? Or should I have done it a different way?
Second question:
Can I use aptitude alongside synaptic (synaptic uses apt-get, right?). I have a lot of debian servers at work and I've figured that aptitude is far superior, compared to apt-get in the dependencies handling departament :P So, can I use aptitude for installing/removing arbitrary packages and synaptic just for updates and, basically for looking at my packages in a neat GUI? Without breaking everything, that is.
Thanks in advance for any information!
