Sorry, I'm triple booting now, I'm planning on changing /home file to their own
partition.
What's so cheesy about it?
Cheesy that I wouldn't just write straight to the partition

I've been reading up on having a separate partition for your /home files. For
quite some time, I've been using a ntfs partition named storage as it makes
re-install or fresh install of OS much easier.

If you boot up a fresh install of Debian after you boot up, plug in your
