I'm attempting to setup a Debian Linux/Gnome laptop for a friend, his wife, and their 4 kids. Each has a home folder that is private to the rest. They have small collection of music & photos that they would like to share. What's the most efffective way to accomplish this? This is a non-networked machine, i.e., no NFS, etc. Can I have a media folder in /home without making a user called media? Do I mkdir this folder elswhere?
I'd create /shared/data with rw permission granted to group "family", then add each meatsack user to group family.
