How to: Disk partitioning for Linux and Windows dual-booting | ZDNet

Honestly, I think it would be more beneficial to simply use a HDD optical drive caddy if you don't use the secondary OS very often.

Thanks for sharing, by the way.

Good knowledge to have for an understanding not really application basis outside the home. Units that work within non-Windows infrastructure in the garrison and tactical environment already are getting enough keyboard time. If we are more focusing on the Security for the home benefit that is a mixed bag. The attack surface you leave open on your home network and home machines is entirely up to what level you restrict and isolate your system on. Even though solutions such as Joanna Rutkowska's Qubes OS exist, they are not yet the widely adopted practice seen in modern OS systems. Good to see the open-source dialogue SGT Spratley always brings to the social media table.

heck I just put a linux distro on a thumbdrive now. no real reason to partition in today's world.
