   my UID is 1000 and all the files in $HOME has as owner and group my   
   username in Permissions. Do you say that if I copy $HOME to another   
   computer that first name has no problems with executing the programs   
   because the UID is the same and the owner names don't matter?   
   Paul also says it more or less that way.
