1.) Why use ext3? Perhaps you should show the advatanges of reiser and xfs
2.) 'Twice your ram' as a rule for swap doesn't really exist anymore, desktops n
ow have up to 4G of ram (mine has 2), the most you really need on any desktop li
nux system with over 512mb ram is 512mb.
3.) Give links to the linux ntfs driver site (http://www.linux-ntfs.org/), not the other you list it has howto's and docos for read/write saftely on ntfs. Fat32 has serious limitations.
4.) explain vmware is now free
5.) have a contents listing at the top of the page (perhaps)
6.) link hacks.oreilly.com backups scripts and other nice scripts
7.) you have a very simple partition layout stated. Perhaps offer a /uar, /tmp,
/var, /boot, /, swap, /home as well.
8.) List something about the ubuntu live cd
