boogidaboogida: tired
I went with Ubuntu over gentoo right now because it should be quicker. I am doing the dual boot just in case. Although this is the 3rd time trying ubuntu, I still like it. My first install went bad when choosing to automatically set up the partitions. My second install went away when I took out the hard drive and put it in my other computer. The video card was dead anyway.
Ubuntu has a very pretty look to it. It's very soft. One thing that is bothering me though is when setting up, it didn't ask me for a superuser password. It could have happened while my eyes were closed but hopefully not.
I set up my partitions as follow:
hda1 windows 2000 15GB
hda2 / 12GB
hda3 /boot 50MB
hda4 swap 500 MB
hda5 /tmp 5GB
hda6 /var 3GB
hdb1 windows swap 1GB
hdb2 swap2 1GB
hdb3 /home 80GB
I left about 80GB unpartitioned for future growth or change.
Things to do: install the source, install the nvidia drivers, mount the NTFS media partition, set up xvid and dvd, find out how superuser works in Ubuntu.
I'm using gnome right now but I plan to use one of those minimal windows managers
