At work I am running suse 10.2 and am quite happy with it, and don't really have the time for the next few months to do anything differently there.
So I had been inclined to stay with suse at home too, though my recent (fairly limited) experience with Feisty Kubuntu on a couple of laptops has me impressed with ease of installation and the fact that it "just works" (if I ignore the failed attempt at resizing an NTFS partition). I am now thinking of a kind of dual boot arrangement with suse and kubuntu so I can play more with the latter. Which leads to the question of how to modify my partitioning scheme . . . Would the following be the right type of approach? swap 2GB / for suse 20GB / for kubuntu 20 GB /home the rest? or would I then need another ( /boot? ) partition? is the 20GB big enough or is a little bigger a good idea?
