I've no idea what FIGlet will be, but the "common" directory is, as the
name tries to imply, a directory that is common to all users. IOW there
is a system directory where only Haiku's core stuff is, there is a
common directory where apps and resources are for all users of the
machine (read-only, also distribution related stuff would go there),
and there is the "home" folder, that is only for you.
