Partition a 50GB for Ubuntu
Asked by
mguzman
Hi all, I have a 500GB HD with Vista on it with 8GB of RAM. I've partition a 50GB free space for Ubuntu. Everytime I try to install, the automatic install it doesn't let me chose the 50GB partition created; it wants to use the next free available space.
Question:
1- If I chose manual parition - what files systems do I need to partition ...eg.. swap, root, home?
2- Given my scenario - what size's would you recommend for each file system?
3- I have 8GB of RAM - does the swap need to be 16GB? swap file double the amount of RAM (rule of thumb - read that somewhere)
Thank you very much for taking the time to read and if you can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers!!!
