Q on initial partitions for 30 Gig HD
I'm getting a new computer and going to be putting Debian Woody 3.0r1 on
it -- I've used Mandrake prior to this.
This new laptop will have a 30 Gig HD, and my reading indicates that
ext2 file systems can run into performance problems on partitions over 6
Gig.
Brute-force math would suggest I divide into 5 6 Gig partitions, but of
course 6 Gig is too much for something like /boot, /var, etc. My current
computer has 6 Gig and I don't even use all of _that_.
Can anyone advise on a good partitioning choice for a personal workstation
for word processing and scientific programming?
Thanks in advance.
