Linux OS Update

I have been installing Linux OS distributions all day. I am working with a 20GB drive that a friend gave me. I have had to reinstall a few times as the footprint of the different OSs where larger than I thought.

Initially, I gave each OS 6GB with 512MB for swap space. Ubuntu only took up about 2.5GB and BackTrack 2 took about 3GB. Unfortunately, Sabayon takes about 12GB for all the options I selected. After a few tries I think I finally have the partitions right - the changes even allow for a larger swap space. Hopefully the install will work this time.

In other computer news, all my data recovery has been preformed and hard drives installed. After Sabayon finishes installing, my computer will be all set. W00t!!!!!
