I'm in the process of archiving and backing up my documents, images,
media, and other stuff I want to keep now, about 425MB worth of stuff.
Fortunately, I haven't accumulated too much since my last oops (that
was when I was checking out Linspire just to see what it was like, and
it ended up wiping out my Mepis installation.)
Hopefully, I'll be back up and operational in a few hours. As I had
done with my last reinstall, I will be doing Mepis again, since it
already has nVidia support. My big question that I have been pondering
is, with an 80GB hard drive and a 13.6GB hard drive, what would be the
best partitioning scheme, instead of having just one big root partition
and a swap partition?
Also, what would be a decent swap partition size. Originally, I set it
up at a whopping 3GB, the maximum amount of RAM that my motherboard can
take. But I think this may be a bit of overkill, even if I do finally
start doing some online gaming as well as tinkering around with 3D
modelling with Blender...
