Is this laptop or desktop?? Swap may still be needed if you're planning on doing any hibernation. > Now for the important part.

If for me Swap - 1.5GB (if I want to use hibernate, else it's 700MB) / - 2GB (since ccache uses /root/.ccache by default) /usr - 1GB /usr/portage - 5GB /home - 20GB? /opt - 500MB /tmp - 1GB That's just me. -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
