Agreed...I always have kept my /home on it's own partition and never had any problems. And to reply to a bit earlier on the post...I am well aware that Ubuntu is designed to just keep upgrading without a reinstall but I have had problems doing that before from version to version...such as things I have uninstalled magically getting re-installed when the update takes place. It may be designed to do that, but IMO a rolling upgrade should just upgrade what I have installed and what is required. <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 10, 2009 at 2:25 PM, Cybe R.

My /home has been on the same partition since Warty Warthog and given no trouble. Cybe R. Wizard -- Nice computers don't go down.
