-Excellent idea for a page, but I'd refactor it somewhere (when I wasn't at work), perhaps into FileHierarchy or something, and
explain on this page
what a filesystem was
, ext2/ext3 etc, and how the Windows analog is "FAT" or "NTFS".

-The Linux filesystem grows from a main point "/" (Refered
to as root)

-; __[/boot|SlashBoot]__ : Stores the kernel. Usuallly a seperate [Partition]
at the beginning of the hard drive
-; __[/bin|SlashBin]__ : System binary files (Programs) for use by all users
-; __[/dev|SlashDev]__ : Device files. Represent all devices connected to your computer
-; __[/etc|SlashEtc]__ : Contains configuration files for programs
-; __[/home|SlashHome]__ : Each user has a folder in here to store all their personal files. Commonly refered to as '~'.
-; __[/lib|SlashLib]__ : Contains libraries needed to run the programs in /bin and /sbin
-; __[/mnt|SlashMnt]__ : Provides a place to 'mount' temporary filesystems (eg CDROM, floppy disk)
-; __[/opt|SlashOpt]__ : Location for add
on software. Usually StaticallyLinked programs provided in binary form. Some people install TarBalls in here too, expecially beta software.
-; __[/proc|SlashProc]__ : A "live window" in to kernel parameters.
-; __[/root|SlashRoot]__ : home directory of the root SuperUser
-; __[/sbin|SlashSbin]__ : Exectuable files to be used only by the root SuperUser
-; __[/usr|SlashUsr]__ : For files that can be shared across
a whole site among multiple users
-; __[/usr/local|SlashUsrSlashLocal]__ : Files that are installed from TarBalls usually install to here. Contains a full directory structure (bin/, etc/)
-; __[/var|SlashVar]__ : For variable data files

the FileSystemHierarchy is usually organized
on a Linux machine
