Question #79072 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/79072
Tom proposed the following answer: Since you 'only' own 1 drive at the moment then i would set it up like this assuming it's the SSD sda1 2xRam Primary Partition, 'file-system' = linux swap sda2 10Gb Primary Partition, file-system = ext3 for / sda3 large. Primary Partition, file-system = ext3 for /home This will make it easier to move the /home onto the new drive and then edit the fstab and all that nightmare lol. If it's the 1Tb drive then i would do the reverse sda1 large, Primary Partition, file-system = ext3 for /home sda2 2xRam Primary Partition, 'file-system' = linux-swap sda3 10Gb Primary Partition, file-system = ext3 for / This way you wouldn't need to resize the /home partition which is fraught and desperately slow at the best of times. Again this would help because on the new drive you could do a fresh install then get the programs list from synaptic and magically your new install would be just like the old one without all the fuss of the endless tweaking that we tend to do with a new 'toy' ;) Anyway, i'm sure everyone else has their own suggestion for what's 'best'. There is only 1 'right' way and that's your own. Windows gives freedom from choice. Linux offers freedom of choice.
