Your opinion about GNU/HURD (and vmware)

["Nuno Emanuel F. Carvalho" <nemanuel@student.dei.uc.pt>]

Hi,

 I've bougth an AMD K6-2 400MHz processor and would like to create a
partition for GNU/HURD.
 How much space disk it's recommended to install HURD !? What about
300MB ?

 Should I create a swap partition for it or could i use the GNU/Linux
swap partition ?

 Need I to create an additional partition to get dual OS working - with
vmware !?

 Thanks.

 Best regards,
