Hello all, I have a FC3 installation that I am tired of. I have two ide ATA drives, 40 and 60 gigs each. I propose to remove the 40 gig and replace it with a 250 or 300 gig SATA that I will use as my main operating drive and will use the 60 gig for data storage. I have been reading about virtualization software and would like to be able to test this, just for my own satisfaction. I am thinking about having three partitions for testing distros - not very big ones, on the order of 10 gigs each. I assume I can have a common swap partition for all running s/w. I'd anticipate having 2 or 3 gigs of PC2700 RAM. I expect to use FC5 freshly installed for most purposes. I might want to have some MS OS in one or another of the partitions for business purposes. Does anyone care to offer a suggestion about how to partition the big drive to facilitate these purposes? Is GRUB likely to be suitable?
