Hi, i am a guy from spain that until now have been using only debian / ubuntu and one time some months ago Fedora 8 during 2 months or like.
I like 3d design a lot , and about a year ago my parents buy me a PC with a good Quadro card for do 3d with Maya.
During six months i did a course of maya , but i have been using maya in ubuntu using alien for convert rpm packages , but i think this could make maya more inestable so i decided to Install Fedora , Probably 8 , as autodesk recomends 8 version for maya.
I want to have debian installed also of Fedora , so i will use fedora for 3d , and debian for the other things.
Knowing that Fedora is only for use with 3d , what version would be more stable , Fedora 8 or 10 (for 3d i prefer stability instead of recent software) ?
I will format all the hard disk because i prefer that way, altrouth i would not need to do.
I think i will install fedora with his / and 8 Gb swap (I have 4 GB ram ) and create a /home for both systems , creating two diferent users (one in fedora and one in debian , to haven't got problems)
And intall fedora grub in MBR .
Then once installed Fedora install Debian mounting /home and swap previously created and installing grub not in MBR but in the debian partition to avoid problems (and later add debian in fedora grub.conf)
Can I have the Fedora / , the swap and home in a primary partition and install debian in a logical partition (creating a extended partition) ?
So in that way i could install in that primary partition that i have free for example another distribution or a mac OS X system that is quite interesting for 3d. (now OS X can boot without hack in a pc simulating EFI boot , and needs a primary partition for boot,so the reason for put debian / in a logical partition and have one free of the four maximun primary partitions , and one extended avariable)
