I would say Kurt hit the nail on the head here. use the 10 gig drive for M$ and the biggy for Linux, I have Linux running on 5 g SCSI, 40 & 60 g HD. On M$ the C: drive max size is 2g MAX, all other drives are upto what your desire is. cheers -- Rick Sivernell Dallas, Texas 75287 972 306-2296 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Caldera Open Linux eWorkStation 3.1.1 Registered Linux User .~. / v \ /( _ )\ ^ ^ In Linux we trust! _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
