60 gig drive

2000-10-11 Thread Debian Ghost
Hello Debianers, I was thinking about getting a 60 gig hard drive and was wondering what linux constraints were on having a drive that big. Would I be able to have one large 60 gig partition or would I have to break it up into several smaller partitions? Thanks in advance! D. Ghos
