Anyways Windows dont do all the things that formatting and error checking with ext2fs does :) :Q: what is a good partitioning scheme? For example, I allocated 8G to /, 6 :to /usr, 2G to /tmp, rest to swap. Is that an efficient use of all that :space, or would it have been better to give more disk space to /usr than to :/? That looks like an ok setup, you do want to have some space in / because it is holding /home, and you might want to keep things in your homedir. 2 Gig for /tmp is alot, but hey you can dump alot more there now, and use it for what it was meant for :) : :(since I haven't done anything with this drive yet, and I now know how to do :it, it won't be a big deal to change the allocations, if necessary. I'll :just do it right before I go to bed, and finish it up the next morning) Just think of what you plan on doing with it, is it going to be a server? or is it going to be a workstation. for workstations you want more space in /home for all the stuff you pump into there over time :) But all in all you should have enough space to last you for a while.
