Hiyas Daniel,
I'd also like to see the simple ability to make (and recommend) a /home
partion rather than ask a n00b to delve into the tender mercies of manual
partitioning. Hopefully, one day the dev team may catch their breath and
incorporate it. :)
Regards,
Phill.

Well, yes and no: manual partitioning is for advanced users who know
what they are doing. The fact that it's the only way

Hi Joao,
the same would apply to the option of encrypting their home area, which is
on the install CD and causes no end of grief on support. They get the option
of that, but not a seperate /home partition? Bearing in mind we are dealing
mostly with Windows users, is the encryption part really need

Hello Phill,
I think you can compare the benefit of having user folder on a separate
partition to users having a backup.
Most of the time a user does not need the backup. But when the
unforeseen event occurs that requires a restore, then those users who
have a backup will clearly benefit.
