I have another Dell1420 notebook that for reasons I can't begin to describe hates GNOME for Wireless and other items So I downloaded Kubuntu and everything work!!!! Ok I have a 320GB HDD in the notebook and I know partitions help in case you have to reinstall in Windows. Now I have 100GB partition mounted to " / " Now the quandary Do I set the rest to " /home " (I have 1028MB partition for SWAP) or is there any other partitions I should make to help preserve a crash. Now I am aware that some might say I am paranoid from being a Windows user for so long, however, steps for data preservation are never bad IMO.
