In about a month I'll be reformatting and restoring the hdd in my iMac. I used to have a boot camp partition for some Windows games, but I'm thinking of trying out Linux instead - I just don't online game like I used to.
So, assuming a TimeMachine restore for the Mac partition, when and how do I go about installing a Linux build? Which builds are well suited for a first timer with a little terminal familiarity but a willingness to follow instructions to the letter?
What size partition would be the minimum to consider? I had 100 gb for Windows 7, but it seemed too small for ciV + Mass Effect 2 + Tropico + Team Fortress.
I'm not expecting Step-by-Step instructions in this thread, links to sites would be nice, or sites to avoid.
Thanks!
