How?  I know slackware in the past required reinstalling / and /usr to
do an "upgrade", but with things like debian and redhat, and upgrade is
just an upgrade and nothing in the installer during an upgrade should
change /home.

More partitions just means more places for partitions to be full while
other partitions have lots of free space.  Not a good idea for new users
(or even experienced ones in many cases).
