Rationale
xp could reinstall the os years ago w/o reformating the hd. i've had to reinstall kubuntu 2x after disasters - no idea what went wrong, but had to reinstall and losing all data. i had a backup, but still: shouldn't it be easier to reinstall?
A new surge that's taking place is for the data to have its own separate /home partition, instead of placing everything inside of /. That way, when you have to reinstall, you can just do that without having to even touch your data.
i wondered about that when installing. no way i could figure out how though (noob). trying ubuntu now and love it. i think comiz created a lot of my crashes. wish it was easier to use
