In my head canon, there is a timeline where Gobolinux took off in a big way, and radically transformed the Linux filesystem structure as we know it. (slrpnk.net)

Not that it matters much, ultimately it's about becoming familiar with where stuff is put, even if it's in a weird grab bag of /usr, /var, /etc/etc/etc. Still, I can't help but check out Gobolinux from time to time.

Just shove everything into /opt, all the big professional companies are doing it! They'd never take shortcuts, right?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
