In most Unix circles in german speaking coutries,
the somewhat incorrect translation "Home-Verzeichnis"
is much more widely used. At least that's my personal
experience, and YMMV, of course.

The general convention here is
$OS/$KERNEL
as in
Debian GNU/Linux
Debian GNU/Hurd
We also use terms like
Hurd/Mach
Hurd/L4 (well, we would like to ;-))
At a lower level, the convention is
$KERNEL/$ARCH
as in, say
Linux/x86
Linux/alpha
NetBSD/mips
FreeBSD/SPARC
...
In both cases: Something-runs-on-top-of-something-else,
where "on-to-of" is represented by a slash.

Please see above. If possible, let's keep the slash here,
to stick to widely used conventions.
