Hi all
I'm getting really tired of windows and am thinking about making the jump to linux.
My intent is to use Ubuntu 9.04 with XBMC, LIRC an MythTV.
I don't fair bit of reasearch to this point and think I am about ready to start, but I have two open questions. Hopefully you can provide some advice.
1/ My proc and MB support 64bit, but I've seen some on this forum having issue in the past with 64bit distros. Is the current recommendation to stick with 32bit?
2/ Partition schema
I will be using a 1TB drive and was thinking about 3 partitions, all ext3:
Thanks in advance

I will be using a 1TB drive and was thinking about 3 partitions, all ext3:
- 10GB for OS and apps
- 4GB Swap (to match 4GB RAM)
- Rest as storage for MythTV recordings.
Thanks in advance
