I really would like to discuss this. I think this would make sense in some cases, like having several distros coexisting in the same disk for example. But what if there is just ONE partition, with Ubuntu on it? In that case, why shouldn't /home be kept? My original proposal was intended for total newbies, the kind of people who would be afraid of the manual partitioner. I think your solution should especially help that kind of people, and that keeping /home if there is only one partition would be the right way to do so. That aside, I opened a thread about the issue at ubuntuforums. The members seem a bit uneasy about it, saying that it might bring problems. I think it would be good if you guys came over and shed some light on it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=793772 this is the link.
