A few people have asked me to write about the different ways of laying out partitions for distro hopping. It's amazing how many folks still don't realise you can have a separate /home partition. I'll try to get onto it soon. Cheers :) @Curt – Hi, thanks for the kind words. A few people have asked me to write about the different ways of laying out partitions for distro hopping.

Love your style, total dedication to trying out these distros, for us, really. Saves me time and worries with the disk partng., deciding, etc. Been distro hopping as well for a few yrs, but still feel a newbie. Would be great to read re: home direct + root for new installs, maybe with the symlink info as well. We want to hear it from you! You're the best I've come across! You are taking off! Cheers mate.

They're even open source. I'm not sure exactly how you'd check how much memory it's using but everything should be fine. There may be an Intel tool in under the Administration menu, but I don't know for sure :) @Pavan – Intel graphics drivers are all included in Ubuntu so there’s no worries there.

It doesn’t work, it never did and it never will. Linux is so inferior it’s a shame people still don’t get it. Linux isn’t even an operating system, it’s some kind of religion with all its side effects like aberration, mental incapacity, disorder and so on. If you prefer stability, security and superiority then Microsoft Windows is your choice! Linux is a crock of shit. :( Honestly what do you expect from Linux?

I probably did it myself in the past :) A few things could have happened. It's possible you didn't select to use the separate drive as /home during install and it made another home folder on the main drive. It's also possible you changed your username and that in turn made a new home directory. Everyone's home directory on a Unix-like system is their username after all. There's lots of possible causes as I said. Would need more information to diagnose but it might be worth trying again in future, you never know. @mahutchinson No problem, it’s an easy mistake to make.

I've done a few installs but am a relative newbie of a year or so. I’m pretty sure I only reinstalled the root but perhaps I actually re-installed the home partition and didn’t need to ?
