I'm planning to buy a Dell XPS 13 and install Ubuntu GNOME (of course) and want to have my /home in a separated partition. But having a look at this answer (http://askubuntu.com/questions/379205/installing-programs-in-root-vs-home-partitions), I've just read Ubuntu (and by extension Ubuntu GNOME, I think) lets you keep your home folder when rinstalling the system (aka updating via the LiveUSB instead of the update manager).

My question is very simple. Does our installer let the user do this as well?

Has anyone used it before to share his/her experience?

Cheers,

Alfredo.
