I aplogize... I try to not post anything not constructive, but I can't
resist some times... That being said, there is one thing I really like
about Unix: home directories.

I've been through countless Linux installs over the past 6 years, but I've
kept the same home directory, and thus all of my application's preferences. 
Even when I upgrade drives, I copy my home dir and everything works.  I've
(a few times) acidently nuked my system drive and had to do a full
reinstall... WHILE the re-install is going, I'll be using a Linux boot CD
with my home dir (on a different drive) and most of the applications will
work with my preferences.  I used to keep my home directory on an NFS share
so I could log into the same environment for all the machines in the house
(then I moved into a small apartment and junked all the machines.) 
Flexbility: yes!

Personally, aside from modularity and a kick-ass command line, I feel this
is the one of best advantages that Unix has over Windows.

Yes, yes.. I know windows has user home directories, but since most
applications use the registry instead, it's not worth much.

Trying to bit a bit constructive to make up,
