Roger Searle,
1 notebook 2GHz Celeron, 384MB, 20GB hdd with 3.5GB partition currently
running mandrake 9.2. (Is that partition large enough? I can downsize
another one if needed).
I'd probably do that if I was you. bah humbug, ditch the rest, devote 20G
seriously, 5-6 would be better. You won't use it all, but when you get down to compiling openoffice or mozilla, you will need about 2G spare space. Nothing is more annoying than running out of /tmp space on a long compile!
Thanks for the partition size suggestion, Nick, I'll do that. I'd love to go 100% linux tomorrow, but my reality at both home and particularly work won't allow that. In the short term, I am thinking that I can do maybe a third of my things at work on linux, and 80-90% of stuff at home. And over time, more and more.
