Linux Folder Structure
Ok, I know noone will be able to post the full info here.
Is there anyone who can point me in a direction find out what each of the folder mean and do? I've worked out a few, I've been installing extra bits like limeware and amsn etc. but would like to know I'm installing to the right folders etc. I've been pretty much making it up as I go along, and while this works, it will make it awkward as I learn more about linux and try manually configuring bits.
Thanks

If you use Debian and dpkg then fret not your apps will be installed to the correct folders. If you build from source simply read the README and/or INSTALL and anything else you may find within to know where to install it to.

The home page of the Linux FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) appears to be offline:

You should really learn to use apt-get to install stuff. Isn't it the main reason people want to use debian in the first place? For a quick overview check out http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/de...l/ch-dpkg.html It's WELL worth your effort.
