Greetings to all fo you, I hope you are very well.

A week ago I got my new used laptop (!) and I am enjoying it to the fullest. Already tried it with Trisquel 7 and it works very well.

Now I'm thinking of installing on it the three operating systems, all of them GNU/Linux, but should I come to you because what I have read about partitioning has left me a little confused.

About five years ago I read some documents about the right way to make a partition table. If I recall well, some of those documents said that the most left is a partition in the GParted, the closer it is to the center of the hard disk, and therefore the fastest revolve.

According to this, it said that the ideal thing was to leave the partition for the root of the installed system in the left, then the home partition, and finally at the rigth, the swap. And I did so for a long time. When installing more than one GNU/Linux system, I left the most used more to the left.

But today I found several pages where it says exactly the opposite, as these two:

http://www.control-escape.com/linux/lx-partition.html

I was wrong all these years? Does anyone among you might suggest a partitioning scheme for the installation of three GNU/Linux systems together?

Many thanks in advance... and sorry for the language mistakes.

Free hugs
