Re: Node node_modules directory

Hmmm... I never used node.js so i can't say... But moving away from
home sounds  too much to me, we should concentrate on making some
directories standard( .config and .local, for example) and if we want
to separate config from user's files, move those.

About /usr, what happened was that long time ago (when Unix started,
think) there two types of hard disks, one type fast and small, and the
other one big and slow (just like what's happening today with SSDs and
Hard drives), so some folders in the root (/bin ,/lib and /share I
think) were  located inside the small one while evertyhing else
(included /usr) was included inside the big one.
