hi there,

my question have nothing to do with freebsd really but since i'm a freebsd user and always get help from freebsd's mailling lists i thought i'll ask and get ideas.

i have a machine ... amd athlon 1333MHz (266FBS) with 256mb DDR PC2100 and a 30GB ATA100 7200RPM HD.
i run winxp, freebsd 4.x-STABLE and redhat 7.2 on it.

i just bought few parts from a friend cause he wanna get a new machine .... i got his ram and hd.

so my new machine will be a AMD Athlon 1333MHz (266MHz FB), 512MB DDR PC2100, 60GB 7200RPM (ATA/100)... i was thinking to use both 30gb and 60gb .... so what do you guys suggest .... have which one as master and which as slave .....

i was thinking to do this ....

use 60gb as master and have winxp running on it and the 30gb as slave and run both FreeBSD abd Red Hat .... cause i reinstall fbsd and rh all the time and try new things .... so that way i won't mess with my new HD.

if any of you think i should do it another way please let me know. i'm sure that there are pro's on this list who knows way more than me about pc's and os's :) hope to hear from you guys,

thanks,

--Nader
