In the original Unix implementations, /usr was where the home directories of the users were placed (that is to say, /usr/someone was then the directory now known as /home/someone).
- mysterydip 7y agoWhy didn't it go away once /home became common?
- gerdesj 7y agoIt still had /usr/bin and /usr/sbin in it and scripts, muscle memory and general inertia to contend with. Yes of course it should have gone away, perl should have been at v6 and python at v3 years ago. I'm off to saddle up my piggie squadron for a flypast.
