For years, I used to play with new software and files in all sorts of places. Everywhere except /home/wwb. Then I realized - that's exactly what my home directory is for! Now on my web server, /home has it's own 40gb disk. It has everything that would be considered 'data' on it. Even my website and a small database. My own home directory is 8Gb, including over 280Mb of mail. It means that pretty much everything else is considered 'system' and stays almost entirely static (except for updates and logs).
