I’ve missed this feature for more than two years…
Ubuntu installer can recognize the /home directory when installing, preserving it on successive reinstall.
So user doesn’t need to create separate partition and furthermore doesn’t need to know anything related with disk and partition, just insert the Ubuntu Cd on your pc and drink a cup of tea.
This a real useful functionality (personal data always preserved) and more simple installing process.
Ubuntu rock!
Great tips Jorge!
See you to Bruxelles!
I was looking for an explanation of ext4 main features when I found this great discussion on a launchpad bug report.
The most important explanations are said by Thedore T’so (#45, #60, #62,etc.) , a kernel hacker and actually maintainer of ext4 filesystem. Recently T’so (January 2010) is employed by Google just for work on kernel, filesystem and storage stuff.
It’s for reasons like these that I like Free Software and Open Source.
Only with this methodology of work is possible this tight collaboration and head to head for all developers around the word.
Just one click away! Amazing!
My first action of 2010 has been the subscription as associate member to Free Software Foundation.
Have a long life Free Software!
