[LUNI] Laptop dual-boot question

[Samir Faci]

buy a 300GB on your desktop, dump ssh on it... and samba.  remote access
and file share from both OSes.

I have a raid, 80 and I'm fine, I'm trying to sync my home dirs between
machines... and it's been going pretty good so far.

never had issues with space.  I think my 100GB laptop hd is more then
enough for me.
