F3036 – OPEN SOURCE OPERATING SYSTEM
/usr - this is where most executable binaries, the kernel source tree and much
documentation go
/var - This is where spool directories such as those for mail and printing go. In addition, it
contains the error log directory.
/tmp - This is where most temporary data files stored by applications.
/boot - This is where the kernel images and boot loader configuration go.

It is the act or practice of dividing the storage space of a hard disk drive into separate data
areas known as partitions.
A partition editor program can be used to create, delete or modify these partitions.
Once a disk is divided into several partitions, directories and files of different categories may
be stored in different partitions.
More partitions provide more control but too many may become cumbersome.
Each partition can be used for a file system or as a swap partition.
Multiple partitions allow directories such as /tmp, /usr, /var, or home directory space to be
allocated its own file system.
specific file systems can be mounted read-only, or with the execution of setuid files disabled
(thus enhancing security)
Typical Linux desktop systems often use only two partitions: a single "/" (root directory)
containing the entire filesystem plus a much smaller swap partition.
