Hi all
  I am going to start Learning Linux. I have 1.4 gig left on my hard
drive and am running win.98. I have a 6 CD rom set with Redhat, SuSe,
Debian, Slackware 3.6,Apache and XFree86(X-Windows). How much hard drive
space do I auctally need for each application? The manual says 250meg to
350meg per application. I would like to partition my hard drive to be
able to put two or three of the different versions on to learn. Is this
possible? If so what would you recommend the partition size would be and
what version of linux would be a good one to start learning. I have
Partition Magic to do my hard drive with. Would appreciate any comments,
advice, suggestions anyone has to offer.
Thank You
  Terry
