Just thought I'd mention that you could find it desirable to keep
/export/home on a separate partition (or pool) once you are
comfortable.  That way you don't need to worry about backing anything
up if you decide to do a clean reinstall in the future.  Just today I
did a fresh install of b36 on this laptop, but you wouldn't know it
since I was easily able to fully preserve my home directory.

I have an 8GB /, 1GB swap, and the rest in a ZFS pool.  Installed into
/, imported the pool, created a user with my old uid and I'm done.
