============================
I assume you intend to dual boot, thus the question about size of linux
partition. I'd use 2 gig for / and 128M for swap. Should run OK w/ 48M, but
if you notice sluggishness in KDE (the default wm) try Windowmaker, or
Blackbox. Both of those will allow you to run Gnome or KDE apps w/o the
overhead of the entire environment. My preference is Blackbox, but
Windowmaker is also quite good and may be more to your liking. they're both
included in the installation.
