[Wolves] What are the key linux directories?

[Bobby Singh]

Hello,

When using linux for the first time you know what
directories like /home and /mnt means.  Then after
research you reliase that /usr/bin and /boot/grub are
important.

But as you use linux with different distros and spread
the gospel.  You learn new folders that i felt i
should have knowed, like /etc/fstab and something in
/etc/X11.  Yes, 'you learn as you go' but all the time
i go on the web, these important directories are never
explicitly listed (maybe there is), unlike the 100s of
pages on the the other stuff.  

I think it would be good if the expertise and
knowledge among you all could do this on a webpage or
documnet (it may not be under 'newbie').   It would
solve a lot of hassle and make stuff easy to diagnose.
 At times i use the 'command terminal' and some
distros don't have a central software and hardware
base hence these directories would be very very
useful.

I mean like; where is the central hardware directory
like for modem, graphics card etc.  Where about the
screen info. Where is the boot-up paramaters. etc etc
etc etc.

Cheers

Bobby
