+(1) The root directory is uppermost directory mounted on a filesystem,
+    usually written as "/". It is the first directory to be mounted
+       during boot, and the only directory to be mounted in the case of
+       emergency maintenance if booted in single-user mode. It contains
+       all the mountpoints for the other filesystems if the OS splits 
+       system directories into seperate partitions.
+       
+(2) The home directory contains perhaps 1 directory per user, named 
+    after the user it is for. It contains that user's personal files.
+       A user almost certainly has write privileges to his/her home
+       directory. It is usually abbreviated as ~, and the `cd` command
+       with no arguments will cd to the executing user's home directory,
+       if it exists.
