I strongly recommend keeping a separate partition for /home; it makes things |
| 7 |
a lot easier if and when you switch. It also makes backing up the whole |

partition with dd very easy. |

Heh indeed; you can even keep an lvm setup across distros. I used to have |
| 13 |
`gentoo' and `debian' volume groups and it's easy to mount logical volumes |
| 14 |
in either direction (/home was on a separate large physical partition.) |
