I've read that data recovery is easier when done from a primary partition. Is that not so? Or are there other considerations? Unlike Windows, Linux can be bootable even when not installed early on the disk. I was also considering having WinXP, Debian's / and another distro as primary partitions as you suggest, then swap, /home and another distro as logical partitions. Better? Why? I've been trying to understand the primary versus logical issues and frankly the more I read, still the more undecided I am. --postid -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
