20 will be plenty for everything. In fact, I recommend the following: 20 GB /home (and mount this on all three distributions so you can have the same files everywhere) 10 GB / for Fedora 8 GB / for Debian 15 GB / for Gentoo Swap space as needed, and a small (50 meg or so) /boot partition that's mounted by all three distributions. Gentoo needs more space because you're going to be compiling almost everything from the source code. -- Soren Harward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://theboard.byu.edu/ "Americans are always attempting to run away from conformity, but unfortunately they always start running in the same direction." -- Art Buchwald
