Steve, good to see you've finally got Venus installed. It would be a good thing
if you have some notes about what you did previously and what you did different
this time. And send it off to the Mandrake guys. (well, here might be good too
since others might learn from your experience..."pass on what you have
learned.")
As for the /home partition. It's a good thing to do if you want to keep your
"own stuff" separate. This way if you later upgrade or even switch distros, you
can simply mount that partition as home and you'd have your stuff there.
Usually, the stuff that's important to you (and other users of your machine) are
stored in /home. And that's the most important really. But why are you
installing apps in /home? These should go somewhere in /opt or /usr, I think...
Just some random comments...:-)
