If I knew then what I know now <grin>
I abandoned WinXP when "squeeze" had recently become "stable".
Each install I've accepted the defaults because I didn't understand
pros/cons of separate directories. With this physical machine I doubt
I'll change now.
I've got a machine in the wings dedicated to a project which might
benefit from doing things "right". It will be an "educational" experience ;/

Do you have more than one home directories? I would think that should be
separated out from the running distro.

When I said "directory usable by all" I wanted to run the same script
independent of which install of Debian is active. {i.e. independent of
hostname}

It's common to have a $HOME/bin directory to store scripts and add that

I multi-boot several configurations &/or releases of Debian.
I will run identical test scripts on each.
I want to store the results in a common logging file.
I can set up an appropriate environment with a custom fstab containing:
# create a common area
LABEL=owlcommon /home/richard/Documents/tst_common vfat
user,rw,umask=000 0 0
# a dummy mount labeled to show which instance
LABEL=dummy /home/richard/Documents/where/sda14 ext4 user,ro 0 0
The first statement gives me a directory usable by all.
The second tells me where I am by using:
ls /home/richard/Documents/where
in any test script.
