Linux

getting a new PC very soon, 250 gigs (mainly for music and movies), feel like partitioning the drive for XP Home, XP Pro, and Longhorn...

BUT...which version of Linux??? Mandrake, Redhat or Suse???

hmmm

I was aware of the former, didn't know about the latter. It's supposedly far from finished, and far from spectacular, especially since the UI didn't even pass the design stage yet. Or did i misread about that?

RedHat is still pretty tight, but Suse is good too.

If you look hard enough, you should be able to do the same things with both systems.

check here for information on isos:

And to be honest, partitioning the 120G might be okay, but why not make two partitions, and run VMWARE on top of your primary Linux partition? smile
