[sles-beta] New and additional home for root??

[Gregory D. Rosenberg]

Klaus,

Maybe it would make sense to have a soft link from /root and /home/root. This would be beneficial for new users starting out that struggle with the notion that /root is not under /home/root. Of course we all know why and that is to securely isolate it. This probably would not work well when /home was mounted on a different machine or a cluster of machines. So maybe it is a bad suggestion.

P.S. Text the word BLIND to 85944 to donate $10 to the NFB Imagination Fund via your phone bill.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
