[TUHS] The origin of /home

[Jon Forrest]

Another reason why the home directory part of /usr was made into
/home is because after doing so, it was possible to mount /usr
read-only, and supply it from a server. This was the so-called
"dataless" method. I wrote a short email message summarizing
what we were doing with this in UC Berkeley Comp. Sci., and mentioning
a paper I had written describing how to create a "dataless"
environment for DEC's OSF1 operating system (see
http://beowulf.org/pipermail/beowulf/2008-July/022210.html).
