Hey guys, quick partitioning question for people who have more experience on it.
I have a duel boot win7 and fedora 12 on one 500gig Spintpoint 3 HD. I am in process of learning F12, but eventually I want to make it more main workstation (I can already tell the difference in stability I'm a heavy multi-tasker) while win7 will be used mostly for games and vistors (windows will always be supreme for games it seems!) But as it stands now, I only have about 40 gigs of the HD dedicated to F12.
Was wondering if I should split the 500gigs into 3 partitions, about 100gig each for both O/S and the rest used for media exchange between the two O/S's as needed. Will there be a chance of losing performance within in either O/S if I partition it three ways?
Or should I just go and purchased an additional HD about 250 gigs and just split that 50/50 and use the 500gig as a media exchange between the two.
