I am planning to install Ubuntu for the first time and I'd like some advice on partitioning. I am going to install Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7 64-bit.
- I have a 1TB hard disk, 8GB RAM.
- I'd like to have a big partition NTFS to share data between the two operating systems.
- I often use a lot of (big) apps. My Windows partition (C:) will need about 150GB.
What partition size should I dedicate for root and home?
/
(??? -> 20GB?)/home
(??? -> 20GB?)/swap
(16GB)- Windows (150GB)
- ShareDriver (NTFS Max Left Space)
If I install and use a lot of apps, will 20GB be too small for root and /home? Might it become filled up over time?
I've never used Ubuntu, so I have no idea what amounts are reasonable for my usage.
