I have bought an amd x 64 5000+ dual processor with freq of 2.6GHZ, Asus M2A-VM HDMI mother board, 320Gbyte HDD, LG 20X DVD burner and trying to build a system with dual booting (windows XP and Linux). In the Bios the freq settings are 200MHZ to 400MHZ(with 1 MHZ increments) and also a multiplier auto or 5,6,7,8,9 What settings I need to use. I will not do any overclocking.(325 and auto or 8?)
What will be the size of partitions and type of File systems I need to provide for Linux? I have been reading about dual booting installation but appears that there are problems. My interest in Linux is to get started in it, able to do video processing. Which distro will be good? mohan
