Newbies - Comprehensive Linux Filesystem Hierarchy
Posted: Thu 11 Jan 2007, 00:22
Looking for some Linux Knowledge.
Here are some really comprehensive text on the
Linux Filesystem Hierarchy
When migrating from another operating system such as Microsoft Windows to another; one thing that will profoundly affect the end user greatly will be the differences between the filesystems.
Note some links are to the same material in a different formats.

This document outlines the set of requirements and guidelines for file and directory placement under the Linux operating system according to those of the FSSTND v2.3 final (January 29, 2004) and also its actual implementation on an arbitrary system. It is meant to be accessible to all members of the Linux community, be distribution independent and is intended to discuss the impact of the FSSTND and how it has managed to increase the efficiency of support interoperability of applications, system administration tools, development tools, and scripts as well as greater uniformity of documentation for these systems.

Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
Introduction
This page is the home of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS).
The current version is 2.3. It was announced on January 29, 2004.
The filesystem standard has been designed to be used by Unix distribution developers, package developers, and system implementors. However, it is primarily intended to be a reference and is not a tutorial on how to manage a Unix filesystem or directory hierarchy.
Cheers,
