Don't I feel silly. Being used to the apollo way of doing things, I've
created my user directories in /localuser and then linked them to /user.
I'm currious what is /user supposed to be used for in linux? There were
a couple of things there before (with no obvious pattern to why they
where there) so I removed them. However, I've been worried that this
will make me incompatable with future SLS releases. (I had assumed that
/home was supposed to be the home directory for root and administrative
accounts.)
