realized that everything he says should be taken 'cum grano

And in current FreeBSD and Linux root's home directory is /root.
This helps prevent the accidental cd before an rm -r * and only
root's home directory get's nuked and not the system.

It also keeps / clean with only things that need to be there.

Just a  HedZup on / vs /root
