[QCLUG] Directories as partitions

[Mark Riedesel]

Yes, a directory without a partition mounted to it is just a directory
and is functionally the same (mostly).

To be more accurate, your statement should be "The '/home' directory
usually has a partition mounted to it". But you can just as easily have
your entire system on a single root partition.
