I'm planning to buy a Pentinum System with 16M ram, 540 plus HD, Tseng
lab W32P 2M PCI video board, 15' XGA monitor, CD-ROM drive ... 

I was once told that I should partition my hard drive to have Linux &
Dos/Windowz existed concurrently. If I'm gonna buy a plug & play Linux
on cdrom, what's the size of partition ?

What if I wanna install the whole Linux onto HD, what's the size of
partition then ?

Any suggestion on which Linux I should buy ? I'd prefer those with good
documentation & lots of Xwindows programs.

Many thanks to any advice, help, suggestion ....
