Public Directories

[Jason Taylor]

Because if I told my grandma she had to

$ sudo mkdir /usr/share/public
$ sudo chmod 1777 /usr/share/public

To share a file she would imediatly boot back to XP

Also she would never know the folder exits if she just ran the command
as she never goes above 'home' in nautilus... and wouldn't have a clue
what /usr/share/public means

Just saying it would be a nice easy 'fix'
