On /home, what I do is have it on a separate partition then name the home directory after the version of Linux used. I am a SUSE man so my /home contains

tweetiepooh.110
tweetiepooh.111
tweetiepooh.112

Once things are stable I can copy files into the new home as needed though my tendency is to have a separate /data partition for documents, photos etc and use home for config files.

I make sure that accounts are created with the same UID and groups to ease permissions.
