Search the web or talk to some 'computer engineers' out there and
you'll find plenty of them warning you about the 'broken Linux
installer' that gobbled up their drive.
Always read the manual end to end AND multiple reviews/potential
issues before you mess around with a new system.
Disclaimer: I'm not implying that you didn't :)
i didnt. Tried to install pcbsd with some custom partitions - it
barfed. Installing with default partitions worked. But with default
install, the fonts looked funny and the machine was crawling. Since
it was a new machine, no data was there to be lost. Wiped it out and
installed ubuntu. Tried custom partitions here too:
/ - 20 gb
/home - 30 gb
/var - 30gb
result: Everything got installed in /. And two empty partitions of 30
gb each were created. Seriously thinking of going back to Redhat 5.2
where you are allowed to control every part of the installation process.
