Question #77301 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77301
Tom proposed the following answer: @ ActionParsnip Yes the ntfs can be used for storage, i can totally see why you're suggesting 5Gb and all this but i don't think it's wise (or even possible) to use an existing Windows OS partition as the /home partition. There's so many things that Windows can't handle, such as long file-names, that it's wise to keep linux separate by default and then copy across stuff onto the Windows partition so that if Windows freaks you can go back into Ubuntu and set things back the way they were without having troubles remembering what files went where. I realise this probably sounds like the opposite of what i have earlier suggested in other answers but people from the paranoid world of Windows are unlikely to have interpreted those answers in the way a pure linux user might/has. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
