So, for whoever's logged on, a file path like this ~/example.text refers to an example.text file in the root of *their* homespace. The advantage of this, apart from far less typing, is not having to do the /home/(user)/ prefix typing that you've mentioned, and which some people will just not understand that they're expected to replace (user) with their own username, when they see such instructions on mailing lists. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.8.4-102.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Mar 24 13:09:09 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
