Michael, it is as easy as setting your paritions with the mount point 
/home/michael to do what you want.  You don't need a tutorial.  When all your 
partitions are preceded by /home/michael/ + what ever identity you want to add 
to make them easily distinguished, that is all you need.  Then your 
applications are run on your boot partition and all your data is saved on your 
storage partitions, which should all be named /home/michael/<Name of your 
choice>.  This will work on any OS, I believe.
