[clue-tech] Proper files storage etiquette?

[Adrian F. Nagle, IV]

Thank you Dave and Jed.

Of course I can always do what I want, but I've learned there is also good practice.  I don't want to stick a bunch of data that might pose issues when managing my installation (permissions, moving files, updating, etc.).  I currently have the data in /laptop, but I probably will move that to /home/laptop or /home/share so no one needs to be in the root directory.
