A bit of both: there is a system-wide certificate directory, but some
applications also have their own certificate store.  mutt, when linked
agaisnt OpenSSL, allows a user to store CA certificates in a default
location of ~/.mutt_certificates, and use of the system-wide
certificate directory can be toggled.  I'm not so familiar with other
clients.

On a Debian system, you can "apt-get install ca-certificates" to
populate the system directory.
