understanding the LINUX directories

[drspin]

Hello -
As I've been playing around with some of this linux business I've come to realize that a thorough knowledge of the directory structure of linux is necessary - I don't have one... Does anyone know of a good overview or want to take the time to explain to me how the structure is set up -> I have a couple of books but it doesn't explain the theory or the functional aspects of the direcotries. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, check out this old post where it has already been handled:

I also have the official standard (at least as it looked in -95; I don't think that it would have changed that substantially, though) available on my HTTP server. You can find it here:
