Hi Guys,
I have an Ubuntu-Windows dual-boot system on an MSi Wind U100.
My 300 GB HDD is partitioned like this (not counting the Windows partitions):
20 GB partition that mounts /
4 GB Linux-Swap
and a 160.19 GB partition that mounts /home
My question:
If I was to do a clean install of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx when it comes out, what advantages and disadvantages would there be in having a separate /home partition?
