Right now I am configuring my G3/300MT for Linux. It has a 4GB SCSI drive,
so I am partitioning it with 1GB for Mac and the remainder (not exactly 3GB)
for Linux. I have a CS 1.1 Install CD and the Tasty Morsels CD. I am going
to install 1.1 on the machine and get it configured tonight and tomorrow
will be getting a small hub for my room in order to have both the G3 and the
G4 on the same network jack. Will I be able to upgrade to 1.2 when the
ISO's come out without losing any stored data? Or will I have to create some
sort of back up for it? Also, what would you recommend for the sizes of the
various partitions, and how many partitions do you recommend. This system
will mainly be used as a web and email server with really only my own data
and maybe just a few other people. No need to have a huge usr partition
right? Or should I even just make it into a very simple setup with only a /
and a swap? Thanks!
