You probably could do that...but some programs might not like it. (Not being able to adjust the permissions and ownership on files as expected, unable to create sockets and symlinks, etc.) I've not used FC5 myself, but you could add an appropriate line to /etc/fstab if you did want to give it a shot:
My personal guess is that it would cause more trouble than it's worth, so I'd advise against. You could mount in a subdirectory of /home/byoung with less trouble, I expect.
Spaces in filenames should be fine (Unix in principle allows just about anything—I've seen control characters in filenames before). Poorly-written shell scripts might have trouble, but otherwise applications should just work.
