Home, yeah. But.. You don't want to do this "before" you install some 
things, or they break (and yeah, yeah, they don't follow spec, blah, 
blah.. But geeze...), and somehow I doubt that it moved "everything", 
not just the documents.

Main point is, must Linux allow you do do this when setting it up, you 
don't have to "manually" change it later on, when you have been using it 
for weeks, and realize you screwed up.

Just ran mine recently and watched. It may now crunch the unused space 
(badly though), but not the other.

No they don't. Or not visibly, and/or obviously. If anything, load times 
on some things have gotten "worse" since the last defrag I did...
