My issue is that Mint seems to run slowly using the internet - for example side scroll bars are not ready to be moved when the page loads, it just generally feels sluggish. What is interesting is I can download files very easily & quickly - big video HD broadcast files seem to download painlessly & quickly. I think I need help to change my partitions set up.
I see some people recommend having a 'backup' partition where they store a system image, have a separate data partition for storing documents, photos, videos etc (thereby keeping the OS & data separate). I am just interested in how much space I should be attributing to Windows 7 (I will be mainly using it for Video Redo (which can't be used successfully in Linux), & how much space for the Linux OS given I have 1 TB HD.
I save files mainly to an external HD, but would like the flexibility to access & edit files using either Windows or Linux - so need a shared read/write solution too - thinking something like 'EXTFS for Windows'?.
Main issue is really to sort out the partition sizes (is it possible if I haven't setup the partitions sizes adequately for Linux that this is what is causing it to run slowly on internet?). I am a newbie with regards partitioning.
Many thanks in advance of any help,
Paul
