1 For hdb, what's a good partitioning scheme? I want to go with reiser, and
2 keep the vfat (for win2k). I have 512MB RAM, should I change the swap
3 size? Is there a big advantage to using LVM versus just a regular root
4 partition?

6 I figure I'll use hda just for storage of stuff prior to burning to disc.
7 For a little while, I'll have a triple boot system.
