After reading the many heated debates on here I have decided to switch from Red Hat to Slackware. Here is the problem. Red Hat is very n00b friendly when it comes setting up your partitions. In fact, it does it for you!! Slackware.....no such luck. So I done some reading and was going to install but have come to a brick wall. The slackware site recommends have 3 partitions which are /, /usr, and /home. All candy or cake but how much to each partition? And what about the swap partition (btw the what $%^& is a swap?)? I have roughly 10 gig available (dual boot). Could someone help me out with this?
