Like the C drive in a Windows OS, Linux has also a special drive for storing system files. It is called the Root file system.We assigned "/" backslash for the file system.
The following defines the uses of each folder in the file system-:
- /bin and /sbin: Contains system applications similar to the C:\ Windows folder
- /etc: Contains system configuration files
- /home/yourysername: This is equivalent to the C:\Users folder in Windows
- /lib: Contains library files similar to .dll files in Windows
- /media: Removable media is mounted in the directory
- /root: Contains root user files (not the root user file system; root user is the administrator of the Linux system)
- /usr: Pronounced user, it contains most of the program files (equivalent to C:\Program Files in Microsoft Windows)
- /var/log: Contains log files written by many applications
- /home/yourusername/Desktop: Contains Ubuntu desktop files
- /mnt: The mounted partitions are shown here
- /boot: Contains the files required to boot
- /dev: Contains Linux device files
- /opt: The location for optionally installed programs (ROS is installed to /opt)
- /sys: Holds the files containing information about the system
This Ubuntu file system will remain same for all other linux distribution!
