Thanks for the input, Civileme. Where would I put the public access directory? Under /home, say /home/public, or is there some other traditional place? If I do this, presumably I could put /home on a separate /dev/hda'n' partition, or, if Santa brings me the new 80G HD I asked for, make it /dev/hdb. Is this reasonable thinking?
