*A general query:* *Is there any performance difference if the /home is on a different partition compared to the whole hierarchy being on the same partition?* >> Not really, but it is recommended for better disk space and user data management.
*Further,* *The applications I install (from the software centre, or the deb, or by aptitude), do they take up space in the /home partition or somewhere else. * >> No, not in /home. (and yes if you keep the .deb files on your home dir and don't delete/move them after installation :-) ) *Currently, I have the /home on a different partition than the root. I am left with only 1 GB of free space in the partition containing the '/' and am thinking of combining the partitions and reinstalling as one single hierarchy.* >> When it comes to re-installation, the /home plays a good role. You can format the / directory and re-use the /home with all old user settings without the need to re-configure them. However now, you may not re-install due to this, instead try to find out what is taking up so much space.
