   I'm curious about this, as all I can find on a brief Web search is   
   discussions of whether and how to set up a separate /home partition on   
   Ubuntu, rather than anything about it being disallowed. (How would you   
   even *do* that, anyway?)   
      
   I mean, Ubuntu would not be on my list of preferred distros in any case   
   (I can do without built-in spyware, thankyouverymuch,) but I'm not   
   seeing much to back up this specific claim.
