Trying to get started in the Linux world

1998-08-29 Thread EGRET Lures
Just ordered the Debian 2.0 CD's today and have very little knowledge of Linux. Would like some recommendations on disk partitioning with the present system. PII 300 w/128mb and 8gb . The present setup is dualboot to DOS and NT4WS. I am going to do a clean install of both before installing Linux.
