[no subject]

Okay, think I'm making some progress. When I went to create partitions, I realized that I can have 4 primary partitions on a disk, then I need to get into Extended and Logical partitions. Right now I have /, /home and swap (I think swap takes a primary partition).

So - would I leave / and /home on primary partitions, then create an Extended partition and put /usr, /var, /tmp and /opt on them?

I use the desktop primarily as a desktop, using OOo and Gimp. Starting to get into docbook creation using Quanta. Want to get into DTP using Scribus.

My kids use it primarily for web, watching TV and playing games.

I also use it as a Samba server, but primarily for print sharing - although I might just say to heck with Samba altogether and use Cups for print sharing (I had Internet printing working under Win2K and printing to a Cups printer before I hacked up my desktop).
