using a special partiton for home will immediatly get you in troubles if you use more than one Linux on the same computer (and with the same /home).
Since having muliple Linuxes is a special requirement only quite knowledeable people have,I would assume that such a person would be able to kilcik into the partitioner and choose his/her own partition too.
For what it's worth, I agree. I do have Fedora Core 4 installed beside my SuSE 9.3, only just in case there is a problem and I'm not able to boot into SuSE so how to access my files? I forgot that Linux is not like Windows and that it doesn't simply crash forbidding access to my data. I am looking forward to the day (to come soon) when I can wipe out FC4 and reclaim the space I allocated it. Sorry for rambling, but my point is that one really doesn't need to use two Linux distros for normal day-to-day productivity, and are you really suggest an ordinary user might need something other than SuSE?! Only some geeks might need that, as Andreas quoth, and they know to do things properly. (I actually have a separate /home for FC4 since FC4 doesn't use ReiserFS by default.) -- Shriramana Sharma Sym454 2005-08-35 http://samvit.org Penguin #395953 /
