Having tentatively decided that Ubuntu is too similar to Windoze (too much hidden), I plan to install Slackware 11.0 on an IBM T30 Thinkpad with a 40 GB drive and 1 GB memory. I plan to use the machine primarily for development (mainly in C), news, and email. It will contain lots of standards documents, etc. It won't run games, and minimal photo images (although that last may change). No movies, soundtracks, etc. I would like opinions on how best to partition the drive, adhering as closely as possible to the quasi-standard Linux Filesystem Hierarchy as described in: http://tldp.org/guides.html Since the machine does not support ECC memory, I expect to maintain backups of most material on a system with more reliable memory. Incidentally, if anyone has information on the use of the built-in modem (if possible), I would also like to hear about that. I will probably start a separate thread on that subject later. -- Chuck F (cbfalconer at maineline dot net) Available for consulting/temporary embedded and systems. <http://cbfalconer.home.att.net>
