12 Hi Boris,
13
14 Really it's up to you. It all depends on what you plan on doing with
15 each partition. If you plan on using Gentoo primarily, then you'd
16 probably want to give a bigger partition for Gentoo. Or if you plan on
17 using Windows more, then give more to Windows. Just make sure you have
18 enough space for any apps you might want to install for each OS in the
19 future. Nothing worse than being 100mb short of space on an install :)
