Home partition

G'day all,

I'll be soon upgrading my computer. I have read numerous times about the benefit of having "home" on a separate partition.

Can someone tell me how do this when I install on my new computer. I'll be putting Ubuntu onto it.

Thank you for you comments.

Regards
John

just create a new partition and mark it as the mountpoint for /home. if you're goign in on a clean build it's just a case of asking for one.
