*rofl* I wouln't go saying that to people's faces though -- the "crack |

Eachother perhaps? |

In a way, it makes sense to agree on a standard... I thought this was |
| 38 |
/home/ftp and /var/www. Mind you... Apache consider |
| 39 |
/usr/local/apache/htdocs as the standard web directory -- so who knows. ;-) |

|
| 41 |
Personally, I prefer my web stuff in /home/httpd, as I usually have more |
| 42 |
space there, but once again... users really need to decide where to put |
| 43 |
things for themselves, and just symlink /var/www to that place. |
