Hello!

Many thanks to the people that answered my previous questions - they were
very helpful! Anyway, one more to complete the installation of some new
workstations & server:

Where is the correct place - according to FHS - where the users on a
system should keep their *common* files? I mean a directory writable by
any of them that will allow:

- keep common files (papers, works, etc.) in a centralised place, to be
modified by any interested user, locally *or remotely*
- exchange files from one home directory to another (a 
"transit" directory)
- almost instant access to the contained information, by users without IT
background (no FTP downloads & uploads & alike ...)
- easy performing of (automated) backups, using a tape drive

The same question for a *read-only* directory (a directory where the
sysadmin will put information that every regular user may read, but no
user should be able to modify - for example, price lists in a
business). Probably an intranet Web is more suitable for this ...

Are there any docs that I should read on planning a directory structure &
backup strategy for systems with a large number of users?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards, 
Razvan
