IMHO, a good measure when running in development OSs is to have at least two independant installations. One installation for compiling and testing new stuff, another one in known good shape for recovery. Once the test OS runs a few days to your satisfaction, clone it over to the other OS partition.
I always have my private data backuped in some places. And i have a notebook, so there is no worry i'll end up with smashed system and lost data. Computer with DF i use only for learning, scripting, compiling world and other fun.
You can share a private data and a swap partition between both of them, ending with at least 4 partitions. 65 GB is plenty of room for such stuff.
I have 200GB, there is no problem with it. I just really don't need to get this host up 24/7. It's all about fun.. I was so happy this morning.. It was sunny and warm. Losalamos (my DF box) was generating some sweet beep's.. It told me "Hello, master", beutiful female voice.. And crashed. Damn, sometimes i think computers are like womans.. Or womans are like computers? -- Sincerely Yours, Vladimir Mitiouchev
