wow, 160gb for ubuntu. Is that mostly data or do programs take up alot of that space?
I kinda like the /home idea. It makes linux sound more safe to use and gives me a little confidence with the knowledge that i won't have to start over when (yeah not if but when :P) i screw something up in ubuntu.
Ive read a lot of complainants that the G80 drivers are buggy in linux. I found this forum thread
Graphics Driver: nVidia 8800 GTS - Ubuntu Forums which i hope will let me get by this problem quickly.
Also, i didn't even notice but i downloaded the x86 version of ubuntu. With my hardware, do you think the 64 bit version will be better?
Also, where is fdisk? I mean i thought i could just insert the win xp pro cd and boot from it, then creat the xp, game, and shared data partitions with the win xp pro cd and reinstall xp pro to the new xp partition. What i bring up on google is saying i need to make a floppy with fdisk on it, but i havn't used a floppy drive for a few years now.
