/home , Sweet /home

Users' home directories are placed in different places on different systems. The oldest convention was to put them in /usr , but that is confusing since /usr contains a lot of other things as well. /home is one common place, and the place most ers seem to prefer (although some prefer to call it /users , /usr/homes , or something else that isn't /usr .) The home directory of user liw would then be /home/liw .
