Okay, I understand not using /usr, but why not use /home? Does storing

webpages in /var/username or keep them in /home/username?

BTW, awesome book. I love reading about the old RLL and MFM hard drives I
used to config when I was a kid. Brings back a lot of memories.

Thanks

FWIW, I usually have an entirely separate file system, located at /www. This allows me to keep all of my web content completely separate from the entire system, and in the even the system dies, I can simply mount it from a new system.
