Removing the ~ (tilde)

[Anonymous]

I would like very much to remove the tilde from the url of users sites.

i.e. http://www.mysite.com/~user
becomes http://www.mysite.com/user

Does anyone know how I might accomplish this?

Use Apache Aliases

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_alias.html#alias

The disadvantage to this approach is that you need to make aliases for each user, whereas the userdir (~/) approach is automatic.
