jbowen7 is still having a problem:
Thanks Tom for your help, you've answered many of my questions. I've
learned a lot today from the links you provided. There is so much to
learn about computer systems.
I don't remember coming across swap partitioning the last couple times I
installed Heron or Jaunty, is this normally done automatically?
Also, this is the first I've heard of "swap", but I have been reading up on it
today, and from what I found out, I don't need it if I'm going to be using 8 gb
ram, right?
Also, from information you provided, I'm under the impression that Linux will
utilize all of the ram in the computer, therefore the more ram I have the
quicker the computer, or was that just for swap memory?- I'm still learning
about this.
When I install a program from synaptic, or apt-get, does it download the files
to / or /home or /home/username? In my case I would want it to download to
sba2 (first harddrive second partition), right?
So far what I believe I should do is install my OS on the SSD and partition it
to sda1 and sda2 where sda1 is the 16 gb for swap; sda2 is the remaining
portion of the SSD for the OS. Now I would name this "/" and programs and
system motification will be saved to this drive, ex, "/theprogramIinstalled."
And the second drive (the TB) I will name /home, and this will contain all else
(media, documents).
I've only been working with linux for about 4 months now, and none of it has
been done on my computer ( I don't own one, that's why I'm building one). To
accomplish the setup with the two hard drives I was planning on installing
Jaunty on the SSD, then once that's working, I believe that I would want to
then add the second hard drive ( i found this link
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive). Now after I install
this hard drive how do I name it to /home?
Sorry for all of the questions. But thanks for all of the answers, they really
help and I've learned a lot.
