I have a laptop with Win2K installed. I want to resize the primary 
partition to add Linux (Mandrake 8.2).

1. How big should I make the swap space? I will have 2-3 users, and will 
use the machine as a Java development machine running tomcat and j2ee apps.

2. Any hidden gotchas I should know about before I partition the drive? I 
am using PartitionMagic to add a new logical partition for Linux to the 
single primary partition that has Win2k

Thanks!
