OK, I am a newb to linux, but I am diving in head first by learning Slackware instead of the easier Mandrake, RH, or Suse.
I have a 30 gig ATA-100 hd that I plan on using entirely for Slack. What is the best way to partition (swap,exteneded,etc.)?
I really don't understand the swap, extended, etc too well, so I need a little advice from you guys. Thx
