[NTLUG:Discuss] dual boot install

[Christopher D. Thompson]

I am considering a dual boot install on my work computer. I have a recovery
partition that is 10 gig that I could use for the operating system and /home
while leaving the personal data (useable files, pictures, etc) on the
windows partition for access from both operating systems.

My question is, would there be any issue with this plan either from the
windows side or Linux? I know I would need to be careful in what I did on
the windows partition as to not affect system critical files and
directories. I really don't see this as a issue as I probably would simply
put a folder on the desk top that would take me directly to the "my
documents" folder on the windows partition and use that folder as it is used
by windows for personal storage (again pictures, documents, etc)

thanks
