Re: Why complicated directory structure in Linux


Why can't some people respond to a question without being derogatory -
what is gained from it?

It is no wonder a lot of people are put off Linux in particular, if
they can't ask a question without coming across unpleasant technical
snobs.

For your info I first used Linux in the early 90s, when floppy disks
were the only to acquire it and the internet as we know it now didn't
exist.

This is also the first time I have heard of hier, inspite having used
Linux on and off for the past 8 years or so.

It is also not a crime to learn about as much as is needed to perform a
task, which is how the majority of people approach technology and that
includes a fair number of technical people.

Thanks anyway for your answer

Why is Linux directory structure laid out so, what is the rationale

Why don't you read the man page for hier before asking such a dumb
question?
