"User Mode Linux allows you to run Linux kernels as user mode processes under a host Linux kernel, giving you a simple way to run several independent virtual machines on a single piece of physical hardware.

"If the box is serving webpages or SQL or something there need be no user directory to speak of. For a desktop box, the user directory is important, but let's be honest: the desktop is just not linux's strong point right now.

True enough, but is all how the box is set up. Some of mine server web pages, and they do so from a user directory so I leave the system partitions intact. For an ISP, most of the web pages are served from user directories. Want a customer ticked off? Tell them that their home directory was lost.

Well said. The users directory is the most important part of the box, since that is where the data is.
