Some questions about Slackware 8.1

[muskrat]

I've recieved a CD from a friend it's Slackware 8.1 and I've several questions.

1. is 8.1 a fairly current version?
2. What is some sudjested partioning sizes andd sudjested pertions for Slackware?
3. And last but not least, which file system is the best to run when formatting disks?
I believe I have standard linu format and the ext2 and the refiesr format.
(sorry if I've miss spelled these I never have been much on spell. I flunked my EMT exam as a school bus driver because of it. Even though I drove better than any one in my class)

1. The lastest version is 9.0.
2. Depends on how much RAM you have (swap partition) and the size of your hd and what you want to do with your pc.
3. Depends on the size of your partitions and also on what you want to do with your pc. You shouldn't use a jounaling filesystem on a small partition.
