Subject: [Wolves] What are the key linux directories?<BR>
<BR>
Hello,<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
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. <BR>
<BR>
I think it would be good if the expertise and knowledge among you all could do this on a webpage or<BR>
documnet (it may not be under 'newbie'). It would<BR>
solve a lot of hassle and make stuff easy to diagnose.<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
