hey,

Thanks, i guess i will go with the second setup i came up with without the swap.

Another question:

Heres an article for partitioning that i read: Partitioning Windows and Ubuntu

The forth option uses a "home" partition to save settings in. I understand the benefits that the article describes, but how does this work? I mean how do i tell ubuntu to save any settings i change to this "home" partition? And how big should it be if i use this partition?

Sorry for being such a newb. I just want to make sure i set the hard drive up correctly before i start installing stuff and downloading movies again to the different partitions.

Thanks for the help
