FHS directory structure

The /bin directory

• Contains executable files needed to manage and run the Linux system

• Includes shell executables, and file system management utilities like cp and rm

The /boot

• Contains boot loader files required for system boot up

The /dev directory

• Contains special files that represent the hardware devices installed in the system

the /etc directory

• Contains text-based configuration files used to configure the Linux system

• Since they are text files, they can be customized

The /media directory

• Used to mount external devices, like an optical drive or connected USB drive

• Some distributions use /mnt instead of /media for temporarily mounting local and remote file systems

The /proc directory

• This directory does not actually exist, it is dynamically created when it’s accessed

• Plays key role in accessing information about processes running on the system and system information
