Read it. Several : times. Especially the part entitled "Before you begin". There's : a subsection there on disk partitions that gives some guidelines : on what to take into condsideration when you make your partitions. disinformation...let's see... I give a reasonable OPINION on a good amount of disk space to devote to linux, and that's disinformation? bullshit. the redhat user's guide is no more credible than my opinion on the matter, since the optimal partition size varies from system to system, depending on which packages you install, which daemons you run, and what kind of user accounts you offer, as well as other variables. and I said all this before, in my oh-so-horrid post laced with all that disinformation... : Don't let Hackrat's attitude discourage you. My experience : with Red Hat has been very positive. It is a good idea to get : familiar with their website, because there's lots of helpful : documentation there. who's guilty of disinformation? HACKRAT DID NOT MAKE THAT POST. although you are probably right; his attitude is undoubtedly very similar to mine, but that's neither here nor there... and your personal experiences with redhat neither prove nor disclaim my statement that redhat is a pile of shit. it merely means you haven't done the sort of things that exploit its skankyness (or noticed that anything was out of the ordinary...) ham@blah.ml.org
