    Even though on Sun, Feb 29, 2004 at 17:00 Paul Schenkeveld
    realized that everything he says should be taken 'cum grano
    salis', he unhesitatingly continued with this missive:

    And in current FreeBSD and Linux root's home directory is /root.
    This helps prevent the accidental cd before an rm -r * and only
    root's home directory get's nuked and not the system.

    It also keeps / clean with only things that need to be there.

    Just a HedZup on / vs /root
