Good luck. :) The reasoning behind using /usr/local for storing some files is: 1) Roommate that introduced me to Debian suggested I use my /usr/local for my publicly shared files (mp3's, video's, etc) 2) I add and delete users constantly, and if there's something I want to keep I try to move it to a central location. 3) Putting it in /usr/local has the added benefit that no one can delete it accidentally, unless they have root access. -- Michelle Alexia "Jade" Storm
