[NTLUG:Discuss] Installation learning curve

[Allen Meyers]

>From my perspective the decisions required in a linux arena are made 
extremely difficult simply because MS capitalized on my being lazy and they 
created what I term another windows dummie.
So I know for sure I must shrink the windows partition, then possibly after 
resizing go to BIOS to make certain my boot sequence is correct.
The decisions I mentioned begin at this point.
Is there an advantage to installation without partitioning?
If partitioning is the decision does one need more then 1 if one has in 
excess of 1GB of RAM
Finally is colinux a viable option over partitioning and all of this from 
the perspective of a new user.
