I definitely prefer a separate home, but I've not used LVM before, and I can't 
recall what happened when I tried to do that.

Here's what I got from fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes

Disk /dev/dm-3 doesn't contain a valid partition table

I don't really know how to read this.  Why are there 4 dm-devices?
