there is no problem what so ever with a mix of file systems on linux, so you
can simply continue with your ext3 /home if you want.

 I am going to clean install fc12 but I don't know how to
 handle this situation,my /home is ext3fs and I want format the rest of my
 directories as ext4fs,will the two fs get on together
 or am I going to format everything as ext4 and use my /home backup.
  If I use my dvd backup,what command do I use to transfer the data
 from the dvd to my harddrive and do I have to do it in ctrl-alt-F2
 CLI

+1 to the mixing of fs's.

You could also later convert /home to ext4 (with a full backup at hand
just in case).

I have converted five fs's without a problem, the latest was a
59%-full 1 tb this weekend.
