Or, you could have /home on a separate file system. This even works well when changing distros. :-)

Or... (veering off-topic) Posted Mar 26, 2008 2:37 UTC (Wed) by pr1268 (subscriber, #24648) [Link] Actually, I have /home on a separate disk, too. But, a separate file system on the same disk would work as well. Good job to Ubuntu for making a distro upgrade/migration less painful.

Actually you can thank Debian for that little nugget. The majority of software in those repositories for what people call 'Ubuntu' is really a snapshot of Debian Sid. It's Debian's 'hardcore'-ness with things like adherence to package quality and rules is what makes apt-get upgrade work. Nothing particularly magical with apt-get or deb format that allows for it.. it's all in those packages and the man-hours put into making them work. Upgrades from one Debian version to another have been, in my experience, better then anything Ubuntu has done. But only by a margin; Ubuntu itself is generally easier then any other OS I've used. What the remarkable thing Ubuntu has done is made Debian itself less painful. :)

I suspect some distros problems with package management is more of a package building problem than the package format itself. I have been using /home on another disk for ages now. It saves time when changing distro or trying out a new one.
