  i wouldn't bother.  really it is just a huge waste of time
for no real gain.

  the problem is that you are new to linux/unix type system
and so you don't understand the history or layout as it is.

  learn what is there as it is.  you rarely need to work
outside /home/<username> for most things as a normal
user.  when i install a new system i like to have /home
in a different partition from the rest of the system.

  as root you may need to understand more but it isn't
that often you should be having to do a whole lot of
changes once you have a stable install set up.
