   \begin{itemize}
      \item Usually contains the user home directories
      \item May be named something else
      \item May contain subdirectories for user groups
   \end{itemize}

\cprotect\note{

   On \textbf{Linux} systems, user directories are
   conventionally placed under \filelink{/home}, as in
   \filelink{/home/coop}, \filelink{/home/student}, etc. All
   personal configuration, data, and executable programs are
   placed in this directory hierarchy.  \filelink{/home} may
   also contain subdirectories for various groups or various
   associations of users, such as \filelink{/home/students},
   \filelink{/home/staff}, \filelink{/home/aliens} etc.

   On other \textbf{UNIX}-like operating systems, the
   concept of the \filelink{/home} directory tree exists,
   but can be subtly different. For example, on
   \textbf{Solaris} user directories are created in
   \filelink{/export/home} and then the \textbf{automount}
   facility will eventually mount them in \filelink{/home}.
   This is because the usual situation is that the home
   directory may be anywhere on a corporate network,
   probably on an \textbf{NFS} server, and the home
   directory will be mounted automatically upon use.

   \textbf{Linux} has these same automount
   facilities, but many users are not even aware of them,
   and on self-contained systems the concept of \textbf{NFS}
   mounts will probably not apply.

   A given user can always substitute the environmental
   variable \texttt{\$HOME} for their root directory, or the
   shorthand \texttt{\textasciitilde}; i.e., the following
   are equivalent:

   \begin{cmd}
$ ls -l $HOME/public_html
$ ls -l ~/public_html
   \end{cmd}

   There is one exception: the home directory for the
   \textbf{root} user on \textbf{Linux} systems is always
   found under \filelink{/root}. Some older \textbf{UNIX}
   systems may use \filelink{/} instead, which can cause
   clutter.  }
