skel

[Michael A. Peters]

I'm not sure what /skel is - but /etc/skel is a directory containing
files that will be copied to the home directory of any users you add to
the system.

~ is a shortcut for home directory.

If you are root - cd ~ is same as cd /root
If you are user52 - cd ~ is same as cd /home/user52
