Partitioning & Installing Ubuntu Desktop Part 1/2

Partitioning & Installing Ubuntu Desktop Part 1/2

http://deepvirtual.com

Partition Plan:
All of Ubuntu, all apps and data under a single 12 GB partition mounted at /. This will be in the single and only primary partition we make on this hard disk.
In the implied extended partition to contain all subsequent logical partitions, we will create a 1 GB swap space.
This machine has a 30 GB hard drive so with the remaining 17.x GB of space we will create a final partition to essentially hold the leftover space in a useful way until we have a more specific use for it.
We will create a final 17 GB logical partition mounted at /data.
This could possibly be used for large database files, hot backups or cross-host mirror backups or possibly re-partitioned in the future in building a dual or multi-boot machine.
For the installation of Ubuntu Desktop we set our hostname for this machine as 'matrix' and as on all of the machines in our infrastructure, we set the initial user as 'electric'.
