I always put root & home on separate partitions, then you can reinstall if you bork the OS without losing your personal configuration files & data...

I used to do the same once i figured out enough to be getting a little adventurous with partitioning but i eventually just stopped doing it again.
I always have two drives and always have the latest stable Ubuntu on one drive with some of the bigger slave drive usually given over to the next release, after a few months in.
Anytime i re-install on one drive i always get my main settings & stuff transfered from the other and anything else worth keeping is in the nfs share elsewhere now anyway..
Separate home is definetly a good idea though.
EDIT:if you know your way round the partitioning routine anyway.
