I'm preping my system up to install Ubuntu on it, again, but this time as a dual boot so that I can get the full disk speed (I think some "problems" I had with an internal install was due to disk access speed).
My primary drive, I have limited space, about 20 gigs or so. While that would get an OS installed, it would cause a slight problem trying to install other applications (specifically games).
So, to alleviate this problem, I'm going to split a primary drive up, NTFS/etx3 for my storage drive for all this stuff, but I want to make sure I get the right directories onto there.
Right now, I'm thinking:
/opt/
/usr/local/
/home/
Out of these, which do you foresee being the largest partition? Did I miss any? I know Ubuntu has a bit of a unique file structure compared to other Linux OSes. I want to make it so most all apps will install onto my secondary drive, for space reasons.
Thanks
