In the "old" days when I ran SLS and Slackware, I had to install many
packages myself. So, my /usr/local was very large.
Now with Debian having so many packages available, I have very little
in /usr local and /usr needs to be very large.
So, a big consideration may be how much stuff you like to install youself
and if you put it in /usr/local/ or /home.
I don't have any news feed, so I don't know where the articles usually
go (/var?), but this could be a consideration for some people too.
