i have windows on my system and i will be using it mainly after i install linux, i will mostly be using linux as a development environment, and to mess with. (til i get my next computer which will be built with linux in mind) any suggestions on what size i should make my linux partition? i only have a 13 gig HD. the mandrake install guide says it takes up at least 1.1 gigs, but how much past that does the average developer think is best at minimum, i mean is 3 gigs fine or should i have at least 4 to be sure, or something else? ______________________________________________________ Get your free web-based email at http://www.xoom.com Birthday?
