Not an Apache-specific question but I'd like to get some real world input. The 
default document root location for my specific Linux distro is /var/www/html. 
I'd like to hear what location some of you veteran web admins use. I generally 
just create subdirectories using the site name (e.g /var/www/html/sitename). 
Recently I've been tasked with granting access to one of our (new/dev) servers 
to an overseas consultant. I had decided to create a user for each site and put 
the files in "/home/user1/public_html" & "/home/user2/public_html"...then, to 
simplify things for them, I decided to create a single user that will 
administer both websites on that server and put them both in 
/home/user/public_html/site1 & /home/user/public_html/site2. Now I'm thinking 
about putting them back in /var/www/html/site1 & /var/www/html/site2 and just 
give the single user account ownership on both directories.

Let me know how you guys are doing things.
