Hello
AFAIK, UNIX uses slices and partitions.
Since i only have 1 working device, which is running hot (60°C) by just browsing the net and torrent i'm not a big fan of 'bling bling style' DE's like Gnome3.X or KDE.
Sadly, even with LXDE or Awesome i'm not 'able' to run a VM without serious upheating the CPU (81+°C), so i cant test the things there
I'm already dual booting Windows7 and Fedora19, and i do have somewhat like 15gb spare.
By now i'm drawn around between:
I'm aware of
PC-BSD, but looks like KDE is the main DE, so its a no-go until i know which (or if any other) DE/WM's one could install if using the installer.
The concern of mine is the partitioning with slices, installing to an existing system and only device, i have could break the existing installations.
So i'm actualy looking for the most UNIX-newcomer friendly installer.
Sidequestion:
Does Unix require an extra swap partition or can it be shared with an existing linux-swap partition without formating (no crypt, no lvm)?
Thank you in advance
