Someone posted a message on the list a while back stating RedHat was
trying to move their distribution towards being more compliant with
the Filesystem Hierarchial Standard. I would like to learn the proper
way to setup a few things, but have not the experience with linux to
fully understand the differences between the filesystems.
My first question is when should you use /opt vs. /usr/local? The
standard defines both, but with my lack of experience they sound
equivalent to one another, but they must be for different purposes,
but what I did not understand.
CVS - Am I correct in my understanding that the CVSROOT should be
under /var since it is variable data and not /usr/local which is for
applications and their respective files.
Groups - If you have a group working on a project where do you put
the groups information. I am assuming you would put it in /home and
make the directory the default home directory of the group.
Thanks for helping me understand this better,
Chad
