Paul mentions the FHS - File System Heirarchy

This is a point which might be of interest to people new to Linux.
One criticism often levelled at Linux is that 'all the distributions are
different' and that skills, and scripts, learned for one won't work on
others. Not so.

We should all be aware of the Linux Standards Base which is producing
standards for Linux systems, and a compliance test.
