Hi all,
Decided to finally dual boot my Win7 with a linux distro, Mint 15 in particular. While I have my mind set on what I plan to do with each OS, I'm a bit undecided on the best route for partitioning my hard drive would be. Now, from what I've read and understand I'm more than capable than creating a third partition to share data across Windows and Linux, but I'm not sure if I want to.
My main goal of using linux is to use it as my coding work station for my computer science projects/classes, whilst still having the multimedia capabilities that I'm used to with Windows (gaming, adobe products, etc). So would the best route be to create only two partitions, only larger? Or should I create four partitions, two smaller for the OS's and two individual larger storage partitions?
Sorry for the silly question. The answer might seem obvious, but I'd like to know your opinions.
Thanks!
