Linux Directory Structure - VirusHacker - 06-08-2011
In this paper, I will discuss a bit about linux (ubuntu), which in this case I am still new to linux world
Linux root directory has a few folders which is a standard directory on most Linux distributions. Directories include:
/ Bin
contains the standard binary files that can be used by all users both a regular user or super user.
/ Boot
contains the files used to boot Linux, including kernel image
/ Dev
contains a special file system that is a reflection of the hardware devices that are recognized and used system.
/ Etc
contains system configuration files, typically only be changed by super user
/ Home
directories contain a home directory for a normal user and specific application.
/ Lib
contains the library files that are used to support the work of the Linux kernel
/ Initrd
This folder is the mounting of RAM (/ dev/ram0) that is useful to speed up the process of booting the Operating System.
/ Mnt
special directory provided for mounting (link) disk storage devices to the system in the form of directory.
/ Proc
contains a special system file that shows the kernel data at any time
/ Root
home directory for the root user (a special user with virtually unlimited priviledges)
/ Media
containing a media store that has termounting (related).
/ Sbin
the same as bin directory, but only the super user should use the binary-binary considering binary functions contained in this directory for system maintenance.
/ Tmp
contains temporary files needed an application that is running.
