The "Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide" [1] has always been sufficient for my needs. You should get help from reading the section about partitioning.

None. You should be essentially fine with ext3 and the debian kernel for your demonstration purposes. You might get a better performance by tweaking, but for a proof of concept, I'd think that is overkill. YMMV. - -- Johannes Three nations have not officially adopted the International System of Units as their primary or sole system of measurement: Burma, Liberia, and the United States. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Si_units -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAktgxVIACgkQC1NzPRl9qEWh4gCeMqUEUr4XOvdiOYDZgRnO+ODO FTEAnRckH0VK9ISqwwJfKHSKhtDLXZ7Y =GvDJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org Thanks!! This was exactly what I need. Are you sureb about ext3 though? I thought that ext2 would give better results on postgresql because I have raid and the database is ACID compliant. Dino
