[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 651981, member: 24098"] It's used in very much the same way as it is in Ubuntu. All of your user-specific settings as well as your documents and other files that pertain to your account are stored there. You can't see everything that resides in that folder within the Finder, since much of it is hidden. However, if you do an ls -a in the terminal in your home folder, you'll get a better feel for what is contained there. What leads you to believe that Time Machine doesn't back it up? [/QUOTE]
