Re: Advice

On hard drive selection.

I would use two hard drives.  It is much easier to screw up and
fix your LINUX installation when you don't have to worry about
your DOS partitions being on the same physical drive.  In the end you
will never have two much hard drive space.  (I remember when I bought
a 10 Meg hard drive and I was assured that I would NEVER need that
much storage!)

Cheers,
