I just acquired a new mini and want to start the baby from scratch.
I have always felt I should keep my system, applications, and

partitions of my HD. Is this still the case with OS X?
No this really isn't the case. OS X is already set up to segregate
things properly anyway.
OK, but what about a little teensy weeny little change like moving
the Utilities folder to the top level making it just that much easier
to grab things. Will this upset the delicate and mysterious workings
of this X giant? I have done this just now, fed up of having to go to
applications and scrolling to bottom to find the folder. Will more
trouble be brewing for me from this one act (apart from any
incompetent use of the utilities). There are other ways to skin this
cat, I suppose as I type this, like an alias. Actually, let me go
back and make an alias and put this on the top level till I am more
sure of this matter. Hello! To move it back it asks me for my
password! Now an alias, lets me do this. Now i move i alias to top
level. Yes, that is allowed without password. And now the finishing
touch as is an old habit, I remove the " alias" from the name for
cosmetic reasons. You see, Bruce and G-List, you are already saving
me from danger, in the very act of writing to you.
You have forgotten my question? Is it ok to move the real Utilities
folder to the top level.
