Hmmm. That's an interesting topic to discuss.

I assume that all distros these days adhere to the Linux Standards Base
http://www.linuxbase.org

BTW, the LSB would be a good thing to point to if FUD is being spread
about Linux, along the lines of "Too many distros make the whole Linux
thing an incompatible nightmare"


A quick check on a Fedora and a SuSE system reveals no system-type 
accounts with home dirs in /home
Has anyone seen clashes like this between different distros?
