As in out of my home directory? I figured it was best to put my own
stuff under that directory, to keep it separate from parts of the
system and from configuration files. It would make things slightly
simpler in the case a reinstall is needed, for one thing -- copy the
home directory's contents out, reinstall, and copy them back, along
with just a few configuration files like /etc/profile and wherever
cron stores its state.
Paul,

Well, you don't have to put it in a system directory like /usr or /lib or /var. How about creating /home/pd or some such?

Loosen up a little. It's a personal computer, after all. Make it do what _you_ want!
