Can someone tell me what the reason is for the creation of /root?
Why do you make the root home directory no longer the root? I'm a
little confused what purpose this serves.
It seems to be a Linicism.
If you log into your system as root, you'll eventually end up with a
lot of trash littering the / directory. That's unattractive, so
hiding it away under some directory (still on the root file system) is
a plus.
But I think you have to be in the bad habit of logging in as root
first.
Even if you never directly login as root there are unfortunately files
and directories that can appear in there.
