    with the nice big 1TB drive I think it will be the new medea box !

    So Im thinking at the moment of just doing a simpell 2 kubuntu's swap and storage partition layout like this

    1-primary OS kubuntu-14.04 with /home 30Gib ext4
    2-secondary Kubuntu-? with /home 30Gib ext4
    3-swap 6Gib
    4-storage ext4 with the usual /home folders (Documents,pictures,ect,,,,)linked to the installes /homes ,,,,,size , rest of drive

    any thoughts suggestons ?

    Would the secondary be some kind of "back up" of the primary OS install or actually another "test" section? Either way or not, That is close to how I have mine set other than I gave the OS 50 GB because of MS horrors I have had in the past so that now I always go over a certain % of what I think it should be.

      yes,,,,,,not a back up but a second install (I like to have a second choice if something goes wrong with the first ,,)

      they (the installs) will have a second DE as well (fluxbox)

        With that big hard drive, why not learn and use btrfs?

          I was thinking of trying btrfs ,,,,,,,but the wife wanted it up and running ASAP ,,,,,so I wint with what I know .

          all in all it was pane less and quick ,,,,,, I loaded up the 14.04-beta-1 .iso used the KDE-partition manager to delete the 2 NTFS partitions and made 4 primary partitions 1 30Gig for 14.04 , 1 30Gig for a secondary install , 1 for 6Gig of swap(in case I wish to suspend to ram) , and the rest of the drive for storage .
          when that had finished I started the installer chose the manual method at the disk set-up stage and pointed it at /dev/sda1.
          in the mane install the storage partition , /dev/sda4 is mounted @ /mnt/disk and all the ~/ directory’s (Music,Downloads,ect,ect) are links to their counterparts in /mnt/disk.

          the hole thing took less than an hour ......... then added muon package manager (WTF did thay not include that on the .iso I do not know) SSH and opened dolphin to network>add nework folder>ssh and attached /home/vinny on the laptop , and am currently transferring files from the laptop to the desktop with sftp and drag and drop in a split pain dolphin ,,,,,,,,nice

          I only get about 1.8-2Mib/sec transfer speed but I have time.

              Not that it would have been any faster, but trying btrfs would have meant only 2 partitions - 6GB swap and the rest a single partition with the btrfs filesystem. The install would have left you with 2 subvolumes "@" and "@home". You could then - at your leisure - rename the subvolumes (I detailed how to do this in a thread here) and install Kubuntu (or another distro) to the same filesystem. It's pretty slick. Only downside is not all distros support direct-to-btrfs install, none but *buntus support the automatic subvolume creation for home, and none allow the user to name the subvolumes at install time.

              Maybe next time...

                I know you did ,,,,,,I read all your threads and a vary nice explanation it was .

                one of the things that held me back from trying it this time was not being sure how other distros may handle btrfs ,,,,,,,and I do like to play.

                  yeah, that's definitely an issue. I asked the editorial staff of Linux Voice to add btrfs features to their reviews of distros. Hopefully, we will see more direct support in the future.
