Usually "/home/username" But since $HOME is an environment variable, you could type 'echo $HOME' to see what it is set to. > This may seem to > be a stupid newbie question but I sometimes have a problem if the writer > uses some personal favorite way of stating something and I'm not > sure if this is the case here. I don't think that the writer of this howto invented this way of talking about home directories.

It is not "/home", but "/home/username", so every user has his own $HOME. Root's is a bit special, usually beeing just "/root".
