    Step by step learning to format everything and re-install from scratch

    Hi

    As a complete beginner I realize that I cannot understand everything well without trying to do everything myself from the beginning.

    My project is first to help myself to learn and then to help some other people like me, just because I dare not doing a lot of things thnking they will "damage" my system.

    So, I will format everything and start from scratch, with all your helps to avoid me to do something wrong.


    I just bought a new laptop with Ubuntu already installed from factory , and I want to learn to use Linux and Ubuntu on it...
    but I dare not doing things...

    MY PROJECT :

    Now I decide to format everything and reinstall Ubuntu and other systems :

    My laptop is :
    ASUS 1225C-GRY004U -- 11.6" LED screen
    initially with Ubuntu 12.04 installed
    CPU :Intel Atom N2600 / 1.6 GHz
    HDD : 500 Go
    Mem : 2 Go DDR3 Sdram
    Graphic Proc : Intel GMA 3600


    ---------------------------------
    1) Install four systems
    windows 7 + Ubuntu 12.04 + Debian + other system

    2) configuring Grub2 for a quad boot, changing wallpaper Grub2 and color fonts

    3) learn to mount, install everything from the beginning

    4) configuring and customizing Ubuntu
    ----------------------------------

    For the first step
    I plan to make partitions of my 500 Go HDD

    win 7 : one main partition NTFS + one partition for data ( 100 Go + 70 Go ? what do you think ?)

    ubuntu : 3 partitions : Root , Home and Swap (which sizes ?)

    Debian : 2 partitions : / and home , share the same swap partition

    One other Linux distro (for testing purpose) : same as debian...

    So please give me all your advices ... before I format and wipe everything from my new laptop
