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

I always make /home separate.  Well, until udev needs it too I guess.  lol



This is the beauty of Linux.

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


Learned something new then.  I really need to master LVM some day.
