I am very new to Linux but keen to learn. I am moderately happy to use command line etc although I will not understand what I am typing (yet). I have previously used Ubuntu but not gone into any command line stuff.
I will be doing an install of Win 7 then installing Ubuntu.
My question: I see that the Ubuntu installer will now auto detect the Win7 installation, and will offer to install alongside. Partitioning is done by dragging a slider between a single win partition and a single Ubuntu partition.
Is this an OK way to do things, or is it very sub-optimal such that you would recommend manual partitioning (to setup /swap etc manually)?
Thanks :)
