/bin This directory contains executable programs which
are needed in single user mode and to bring the
system up or repair it.
/sbin Like /bin, this directory holds commands needed to
boot the system, but which are usually not executed
by normal users.
/usr/bin
This is the primary directory for executable programs.
Most programs executed by normal users
which are not needed for booting or for repairing
the system and which are not installed locally
should be placed in this directory.
/usr/sbin
This directory contains program binaries for system
administration which are not essential for the boot
process, for mounting /usr, or for system repair.
/etc Contains configuration files which are local to the
machine. Some larger software packages, like X11,
can have their own subdirectories below /etc.
Site-wide configuration files may be placed here or
in /usr/etc. Nevertheless, programs should always
look for these files in /etc and you may have links
for these files to /usr/etc. |
