Re: Help for partitioning during installation: what do you consider best?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've installed a few different kinds of accessible linux over the years.
 My first install happened with Redhat 5.0 when Redhat 5.0 was popular
and current.  Best installer I've run into to date has been slint.  For
partitioning Debian has its guided partition path one can use and Fedora
and other GUI installers have their automatic partitioning paths
possible but the problem with all of these is you don't necessarily know
that the guided partitioning or automatic partitioning actually got you
an optimal partition set for your use case probably far into use of
post-installed linux and you may incorrectly attribute computer problems
to issues other than partition sizing.  Now if there's actually more
guideance than twice the available ram, that is additional factors to
take into account I've not yet run into that information.
