<pre wrap="">Kind of makes you wonder why RH's default install is to shove everything
but boot into one partition these days, doesn't it? In trying to make
everything immune from the most clueless users - who might (horrors) make
a partition too small - RH defaults to something other than time-honored

Very, dare I say it?, Windows-ish. On the other hand, for an enterprise
O/S, I would sorta-kinda assume that /home was being NFS-mounted. Just
about everywhere I've worked, it is.

Not trying to hijack but this last comment has provoked a question.<br>
<hijack><br>
If you have multiple CentOS machines that you regularly log onto and
use, and these share a common /home/username (via NFS or other SAN
mechanism) how do the various .xxxx files manage to work - aren't there
potential conflicts?<br>
I have two CentOS 5.5 workstations with dual monitors (different sizes
though) and another machine with only a single display - wouldn't this
cause issues? Unfortunately I do not have enough experience to know
what all these various . files contain - if they're only personal
preferences and totally unrelated to the hardware then well and good -
can someone confirm before I migrate my /home onto my main server and
NFS mount it. TIA<br>
