lib default location

Everytime I install a package from CRAN I receive this message:

Installing package into ?/home/albap/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.3?
(as ?lib? is unspecified)

Should I set my lib? If so, what's the recommended path?

Also, everytime I have to choose the mirror. Could I make one of them default?

Thanks!
Ciao.

It is fine to keep this per user default.
Yes, one way is described in the examples of ?Startup.

Best,

Note that you can suppress the somewhat redundant message by specifying 
quiet=TRUE in the call to install.packages().
