separate /home by default

Well, I wouldn't call them "idiots", I'd just call them "people who 
don't know that there's a way to keep your data even if you have to 
re-install your operating system without doing backups every five minutes".

Not that using /home as a separate partition gets you out of having to 
back up your personal data...the /home partition can break too.  It's 
just that you have more options when it's just your data/programs.
