after trying out E16 on the sabayon 3.3 live disc, i think im definitely going to start with that as my main desktop manager, probably with debian as the distro
I downloaded sabayon just to try out enlightenment before i did an install, since it was the only Live cd that i came across with both E16 and a beryl desktop, as i wanted to check out both for the hell of it 🙂
the sabayon/kde desktop is nice, but a bit....much, for my tastes. ill try E16 first
thing is, i want to make semi-regular use out of this new laptop, so i have alot of media i want to go ahead and put on it (about ~25 gigs worth now) and thought, since ill probably test-drive a few distros, id just make a media partition that i could leave alone. i have an 80gb drive to use.
but how much room do i need for the OS/swap? id rather have *too much* and not use it, than not enough and have to dick with it later. I may also be interested in running Vista in VMware if i can.
How much space would be sufficient for this? would 30gb be enough? plus, i guess, another 2gb for swap (i have 1 gb ram) If i wanted more than the remaining 50gb for media id just get an external drive or start trashing stuff, so thats never going to be a serious concern, i just want to make sure i have enough space for my OS and never have to think about it again, but still want the flexibility there so i can go ahead and add my media and not have to bother with that anymore after the first time
