- - one vote to reject /media and vote for /cdrom /floppy /zip (nice and
clean
IMO) in absence of support for dirs in / I prefer system default to have
these hidden in /mnt rather than have a *confusingly* named /media
- - one vote against /srv and vote for /home/*
I remember the old days when apache had it's own dir in /home (I was using
redhat from 6.2 until 7.3, so maybe this is not a standard but a redhat
butchering)
