Hi loannis, back in the crazy days it was advised to have a seperate /home. Whether this is still valid these days? Pass... would I ever forgo my seperate /home partition? Never :) You can do some crazy things, and bad things can happen to good machines. I have always preferred my "home (i.e personal data) for my desktop system on its' own partition. Whilst an upgrade of your system is designed to leave /home alone. If you have to re-install because it is so badly broken, the installer will not preserve your /home unless it is in a seperate partition. It is for each to decide.
Regards, Phill.
