Re: very noobish hard drive question
The only negative result of a full disk install is that if you break your system you might lose any data and documents you have stored. It is much safer to manually partition the disk and include a partition for data that is separate from your operating system. There are several threads in this section and in Installation and Boot about how and why to manually partition hard drives. One of the best is. http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=11872 . If you read this, you will know a lot more about partitioning and installation than I could tell you.
One other result of a full disk install is that it slows down your OS. But on many computers in normal use you may never notice it.
