First off, I plan on using DVDs as my main source of backup, not too worried about that really.
Here's kind of what I was thinking in terms of partition space and drive usage:
250GB - 1 partition for Vista OS (~15GB), 1 partition for Vista programs/games AND storage (~60GB), 1 partition for Ubuntu swap (~2GB), partitions for Ubuntu root and home (~40GB), 1 partition for Ubuntu storage (~133GB)
500GB - 1 partition for Ubuntu storage (~500GB)
At any rate, the list of partitions and rough sizes I want are as follows:
-15GB Vista OS partition
-2GB (or whatever) Ubuntu swap
-40GB Ubuntu root and home partitions
-60GB Vista partition (minus OS)
the rest as Ubuntu storage
I have a fairly decent computer build:
Athlon X2 6400+
Biostar AM2/AM2+ mobo
4GB memory
DVD/DVD Burner drives
Of the above total partition list, would the above proposed setup be a decent way to do it, main thing being speed/performance. You seem to think it doesn't really matter how I partition, and if no one thinks performance is going to take a hit regardless of my partition setup between the 2 hdd in dual-boot, I guess that's all I really need to know. Thanks for your response and will see what others have to say.
