I've actually set up my Linux machines so that they mount /home on an NFS file server in my home office. I can nuke my desktop and reinstall it in less than 10 minutes with a kickstart, and my home directory is unchanged. Makes it a lot easier when I do the inevitable "oops" and screw up my desktop.
If you have /home on its own partition, you don't even need to have it mounted on your file server. Just do a custom partitioning (I presume that you can do that with a kickstart) mounting that partition as /home and not reformatting and Bob's your uncle. I know, as I've been doing that for over two decades.
