Or even keep the hidden files in $HOME but instead of adding $HOME/work, HOME/documents, add /home/work, /home/documents or /mnt/work etc.. FWIW I've got one user who doesn't have the home directory in /home [1], however, regarding to what the original poster wants, I agree with Tony, it's better to keep settings in $HOME and add other paths for data. You also could have multiple mount points or instead add links. Btw. people using CLI anyway could decide what they want list and IMO even GUI file browsers provide much comfort to handle this. Regards, Ralf [1] I want to have second profiles for software that doesn't support profiles and for Firefox, an app that does provide profiles, I want a profile asking for a password, so I add an user account I call "chuser. Yes, it's immature :D. Sometimes the user runs apps as another user on my machine.
