I usually install R somewhere off my home directory because it saves
me the trouble of having to become root and install somewhere in the
system. I'm the only person who uses the system anyway.

file system experienced users of R and Linux typically install R. Are there any
conventions, or any reasons to choose one location over another? I know that
this is, strictly speaking, not an R question but I thought I might ask here for
guidance that might help me organize things for ease of use and maintenance,
upgrading of packages etc. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
