Benjamin, thanks for the info. I'd appreciate a little extra info, so
please fill me in on a couple of items:

256 MB EFI partition, 128 GB rootfs, a little swap, and the rest as a home

started I'm not going back.
What partition type number is used for EFI? The fdisk list on my Ubuntu
machine shows "ef EFI (FAT-12/16/" - is that the one?
Do you favor formatting with a Master Boot Record, or UUID? What's the
advantage of UUID?
The machine I'll use tops out at 4GB Ram, so I assume the swap partition
would be set at the traditional 2X RAM, or 8 GB: do you recommend more?
Less?
What are the advantages of a separate home partition?
Do you recommend EXT4 for the / and /home directories?
Again, my thanks.
Bill

Thanks for reading this. I appreciate your time.
I've been doing Spring Cleaning, and I came across a 2TB Western Digital drive
that I got a while back.
I'm going to put it in an older PC that will run Ubuntu, and use it for a
backup server if SAMBA is still available. I have a mixed windoze/Linux
environment, with very little content creation other than emails and occasional
spreadsheets.
Please tell me how you recommend I partition the drive.
Bill
