Running out of space in Home directory
I have a Dell laptop which originally was strictly a Windows computer; with a LiveCD of PCLinuxOS, I partitioned the drive to make room for dual boot with Linux. Unfortunately, I gave the Root directory too much space, and Home not enough. Is it possible to move anything over to Root to give Home more room? I would get rid of Windows entirely, but for a couple of programs that have no Linux equivalent (at least that I've discovered so far).

Welcome to the forums! You should be able to boot your Linux Live CD and use the Gparted partition editor to resize your partitions, "stealing" space from your / (root) partition to give to /home. (You need to use a Live CD, you can't do it from a running system, just as you can't change the tires on your car while you're driving.) Gparted is fairly self-explanatory but let us know if you have any problems/questions! :)
