I am have been programming in C for about 2.5 years in a DOS 
environment and am thinking about switching to Linux to learn X-windows 
programming, basic system administration, and Unix in general.

I recently browsed a book that came with a CD ROM of Slackware Linux - it 
claimed I didn't have to partition my hard drive to install the 
particular flavor of Linux.  Could this be true?  If so what are the 
disadvantages of not partitioning?
