Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

Anyone heard of this before? I was compiling some piece of software, and it said it was conformant to this..it was the first time I had heard of it, actually..

Re: Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

Interesting, i've never heard of that.  What software were you compiling that was conformant to this FHS?

EDIT: Apparently it is not specific to tripwire-portable..it is part of the main tripwire-opensource branch.

Re: Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

I heard about it when doing some initial research into different distros to choose from about 6 months ago when I put together my new machine.  I've also done a Linux From Scratch installation, which alters a few things to be compliant with FHS.  I think it's a great idea, and would help to make things a little more standardized across distrobutions if everyone could conform to it.

Re: Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

yep, i first "heard" about it when building my LFS too... in theory, the Linux distros should be compliant with it so we all have the same "idea" on how the system works, ofcourse this didnt happen.

Re: Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

:shock:  cactus, i'm speechless.  Is this a sarcastic joke?  I admit i first heard of it while playing with LFS too but i thought it was something that everyone knew and I was just late hearing about it!

I guess not
