Hi George.
I have 1 20G for windows and only a 2G for Linux. Although I spend 90%
of my time in Linux this setup works fairly well for me, for the
following reasons(5GB would probably have been better):
1) Linux and linux files tend to be smaller than Windows ones.
(Flight Sim2000 takes up a hell of a lot of space, especiall having
downloaded 250MB of Zip's from flightsim.com).
2) the windows partitions are available under Linux, so if necessary, I
can still use the larger partitions under Linux too. (Not really a
clever thing to do under a multi-user setup for security reasons, but
okay at home).
I've only used perl under unixen, so I can't comment about the Win32
version.
Gary.
