I oculdn't get it to work right for anything. I kept getting an error during the boot up. You can see my post in this forum, if anyone can help me out. I tried installing it about 5 times, I don't know if it formatted the HDD right, but it only took like 2 minutes and it took like 20 with Windows....is Linux that much more efficient, or did it not work right. I tried a whole bunch of custom partition set ups, and finally on the last one I click "auto" it set up a '/' 'swap' and '/home' in that order. I reinstalled it, and still it didnt work. I don't know what the problem could be. I went on the different Linux forums but I couldn't find an answer to my problem that I could understand, as I am new to Linux.
Here is my problem:
