</div>I replied before reading you blog. :-( Clearly you have a limited<br>
understanding of unix type OS's. [not meant in a rude way]<br>
<br>
As Marco point out. From a command line window, please type: man hier<br>
<br>
This will explain in part, the file system hierarchy. Also remember<br>
that unix type OS's are designed from the ground up to be multi-user<br>
systems. Remotely connect to it, or remotely use parts of it. So<br>
certain file system parts (directories) of a company's Unix Box<br>
(server) could be shared amongst it's employees workstations (as if<br>
it's part of there local hard drives).<br>
<br>
Anyway, there are many other really cool stuff the unix type OS's can<br>
do, which might confuse a newbie, but this is where the 50+ years of<br>
unix evolution comes to play. It's quite fascinating to research. If<br>
you have the time, please do so—it's an eye opener. You will<br>
appreciate the power of unix so much more!<br>
