Re: Disk partitioning - recommended sizes
One thing I'm surprised has gone unsaid in this discussion -- keep some
extra space for testing new distributions. Even with my meager total
of 330MB (yes, I'm adding another drive RSN) I have enough space to install
a minimal system with the stuff that's really important to me, like uucp
and smail, so I don't inconvenience myself by doing a major upgrade only
to find out it doesn't work.
With 4GB you should be able to leave enough space to install X and whatever
else you use a lot. You can always keep the spare partition mounted as
/tmp or something when you're not testing in it.
