Hi, In the old days home was typically a separate partition that was mounted on /home. If you didn't have a partition the installer would create /usr/home and symlink /home to it. The root was also typically an independent partition, so it made sense not to clutter it up with home directories. Now that the default behavior is to use one big partition, the installer defaults to /usr/home + symlink. I've always liked the more succinct /home and was wondering if there is any reason why not to delete the symlink and move home to / to mimic the old many partition style? thanks, dave c
