I don't think these two things are to be compared in any way, a separate /home is not the panacea you seems to think.
I know it is not the ultimate solution.
But as I said previously, anybody do what it wants.
Sure. The question just is, would it be wise to have it as default?
But as to add it as defaults, this not to be done without care. What are the others distributions doing? I don't remember mandrake, debian, knoppix, making a default separate /home (but I may be wrong)
For now the things I have heard against the idea come to `we do not know how large the partition should be`. The fact that other distro's don't use it does not autmatocaly mean it is a bad idea. The first thing I do is make a seperate /home directory when I install a new system. I am sure a lot others do the same. The question comes down to: is it better to have a /home partition, or is it better not to have a /home partition? For the majority having a seperate /home would be the wiser choice. -- houghi http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs
