I will be getting my new system on Monday evening, and intend on converting
it to a dual boot win98/linux system. Anyway, I will have a whole 8.4G
drive totally devoted to Linux and was wondering what the optimal
partitioning scheme and mount points should be.
Anyway I realize that the above question is somewhat subjective and based
upon the intended usage of the machine. What I plan on using it for is
mostly learning Linux/Unix type of programming (I'm a MVS guy with 15 years
experience looking for something new). I am also considering on using it to
share a cable or dsl modem with some win98 machines in the house sometime
early next year ( don't know which yet as both the phone comapny and cable
company have promised access in early February, but I am leaning towards
dsl).
Any ideas on installation options and partitioning schemes? I am open to
all ideas.
