My common response to this is:
How many would you like?
;^)
You can have as many files in a directory as you like. The only limits
are: 1) disk space, and 2) the number of inodes created when the fileystem
was made.
Which is not to say its a good idea to have huge numbers of entries in
a directory, you'll find yourself paying a performance price when the
numbers get large. And No, I don't think we can be specific about what
"large" means.
