Hey guys:
Can you give me a suggested partition arrangement for putting Linux on a 240 GB Solid State Drive?
and even how to do it.
Somehow I get the feeling that there should be at least 3 partitions.
An Ext3 for Linux itself
A small, like 5 or 6 GB partition for a minimal Linux system
and say a 20 GB? partition as NTFS.
Ideally, I'd like to put the main file system, e.g /usr/home somewhere else and possibly on it's own partition.
So, I'd like some help as to how to do it.
---
I also need some hints for how to set up access through windows networking.
Also, any easy way to change the name of a thumb drive when they all show up as /media/KINGSTON?
I have been running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from a CD since June. So, now it's time to move to a HD or in this case a Solid State SATA 2.5" drive.
