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?

Why don't you take your civility pill each morning before you turn your
computer on? Maybe the question was a bit naive, but I've used linux
over a decade without knowing that there was a man page called hier, and
if I had known, I would not have guessed what was in it.

No need to guess; all you needed to do was type `man hier`. An
identically named man page exists in the BSDs while in Solaris the page
is named filesystem(5).

which of course leads to the next question, how the hell is anybody supposed
to know that?
