    When I updated 8.2 to 9.1 it prompted for user creation and did change
    the
    ownership which as I remember in 9.1 first users were based on 1000
    prior
    to that they were 500.

    Suse does not trash your home directory you do. I have always done my
    clean installs on the same drive and have yet to lose my home directory.
