/mnt is generally almost never used to mount directly, but for extra
mounting needs, like /mnt/cdrom, /mnt/floppy, /mnt/zip etc.
you could put the /home there, if you want...

old SUN-ish concepts if you ask me, no reason to.

du -s /usr/
I doubt 100 megs will be enough, though... on my server it's well over 5
times that.

definitely not. the international greenPeaCe association demanded that
Linux machines will not be installed anymore, since it was discovered that
in the process of writing the kernel patches, Linux and his girlfriend
feed on poor helpless chickens and other large herbivor mammals.
Installing Linux only brings a step closer the ecological holocost
threatening to kill over our planet. better install Windows - that wussy,
