Question #78122 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78122

Tom proposed the following answer:
There's quite a few arguments going on about this.  Some are saying that
Ext4 is the best thing ever but plenty of others are saying to stick
with Ext3 even on new installs <shrugs> it's often the way when
something so relatively new appears and we've all got used to and
learned to trust the existing one.

It is quite a good idea to have your /home on a separate partition but
it can be quite technically challenging to do that although there are
guides around to help somewhere.  Something to save up for the next time
you install a linux-system because it's all much easier during install.

If you have a particular need to change the setup you currently have
then we can try to help but really for both of these issues i would echo
ActionParsnips advice "If it aint broke then why fix it?".  A question
worth asking is "What problem would doing these things solve?" - of
course in linux-land a valid answer is "Curiosity" or "Because it's
there" ;)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
