first of all I need to say that I am completely a Linux noob. Today I decided to install Kubuntu and keep Windows for some programs I need for work.
So I have split my SSD and left 150 GB for Kubuntu and 200 GB from HDD. I have installed root on a 20 GB partition and left 130 GB for home. Now I want to use the 200 GB HDD for data (like on Windows C:/ for Windows, D:/ for data). Programs should be installed on SSD for better performance.
I have a few questions about this:
- Where does Kubuntu save programs installed with apt-get?
- How should I create the data drive (D:/ in Windows)? I have created a new ext3 partition with GParted. Is this the correct way? I can see the partition as a device in Dolphin (it contains a lost&found folder?), but I cannot create any files there...
- What is the smartest way to add the HDD partition for storing big files (Downloads, VirtualBox drives, ...)? Create a symlinks in
/hometo the HDD partition? If yes, how can I do this?
I am sorry for dump questions, I have never worked with Linux before :/
Thank you in advance!
