I'm getting ready to buy a new Dell laptop and want to set it up with Ubuntu as the only OS -- no dual-boot. I don't want to use the "erase disk" option because I want to create separate / and /home partitions. So my question is: if I use Gparted to delete every partition except /dev/sda1 (the EFI partition), create the partitions (and a swap), and then choose the "something else option" will that work? Should keep the EFI partition as is or should I format it?
