Since Unix isn't going to be my primary OS, I don't want to give it the whole drive. I plan to use the Unix partition to learn more about Unix and software that runs over it. I'll probably use NetBSD, since I want to experiment with TCP/IP. I am planning to use a 100Meg partition. Is this reasonable. Machine-486/33 or 66 -Haven't purchased it yet 4 or 8(probable) Meg.
