    I have the linux version of the 110, and added an SD to increase the storage. I am fairly new to linux but can find my way around the system, and hence the following question.

    What is the relationship between '/home/user' , '/mnt/home' and the 'My disk' seen when going into the 'My files'. They all seem to have a similar directory structure containing, 'desktop', 'Documents', 'Downloads', 'Files','Music' etc.

    I am trying to work out where I should store my files.

    Thanks

    /home/user is your home directory, /mnt/home is the home directory combined with the SSD which will probably be /media/disk, 'My Disk' just shows the contents of /mnt/home. So if you want something saved to the internal SSD, then save it under /home/user, if you want it saved to the SD card, then save it under /media/disk, if you don't care then you can use /mnt/home.
