A week ago I had Windows 7 only. Then I installed Debian Jessie 8.2. I made mistakes (I think) on the partitions sizes, I thought it was a good idea to do something like this (and I did it):-/    300 GB-/home 40 GB-swap 7 GBNow that I've started to understand Linux better, and Debian in particular, it seems that I got swap partition right (I have around 3GB of RAM, and it's recommended to set around 1.5 or 2 times that on swap, I put a little more, but I think that can't hurt) , but I've should created a home partition of 300 GB and a / partition of 40 GB, because all the programs and user data are stored in home (This is probably false, I'm very new in linux, I didn't installed almost any program except for a couple of packages).I'm getting very confused because inside root there is a folder called home. But in the installation process I partitioned in the 3 separate partitions as stated above. It doesn't make sense to me that one partition is inside another one. For you to understand better my disk, here is a command line session:qwerty@aral:~$ suPassword: root@aral:/home/qwerty# fdisk -lDisk /dev/sda: 596.2 GiB, 640135028736 bytes, 1250263728 sectorsUnits: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytesSector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytesI/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytesDisklabel type: dosDisk identifier: 0x7f68575bDevice     Boot      Start        End   Sectors  Size Id Type/dev/sda1  *          2048     206847    204800  100M  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT/dev/sda2           206848  482551807 482344960  230G  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT/dev/sda3        482553854 1204074495 721520642  344G  f W95 Ext'd (LBA)/dev/sda4       1204074496 1250258943  46184448   22G 27 Hidden NTFS WinRE/dev/sda5        482553856 1107553855 625000000  298G 83 Linux/dev/sda6       1107554304 1121226751  13672448  6.5G 82 Linux swap / Solaris/dev/sda7       1121228800 1204074495  82845696 39.5G 83 LinuxPartition table entries are not in disk order.So if you can clear this last doubt it would be helpful, and also if you can tell me if this is a good partitioning scheme for a 2 user home desktop computer. If it's not, I'm going to make another question on how to partition without loosing my data, but if you want to give a hint on what the next step or question should be it's welcomed.
