Hi, recently I decided that I wanted to break away from just using the Windows OSs, (I'm an IT graduate and want to expand my tech base). I picked up a copy of Ubuntu and decided that the best way to go about it would be to partition my hard drive.

I was wondering if anyone could advise me of potential pit-falls and could maybe suggest a good program, (freeware if possible), to use.

Thanks,
Chuck.

ubuntu can partition your harddrive during the install I believe.

just start installing, ubuntu will guide you, or use partion magic, easy to navigate GUI, and very intuitive.

Ok, I'll give it a go and if I have any problems I can always ask.

Thanks,

Or you could do it separately using Gparted (which is included in Ubuntu)
