&gt; First of all, i must tell you that my natural language is Italian, so i
&gt; beg your pardon in advance about all my ridicolous mistakes. I'm quite
&gt; confident reading english text but i'm not so clever to write it
&gt; properly.
&gt;
&gt; I would illustrate an idea i had about a new, distribution dependent,
&gt; documentation project, which would help newcomers (and not)
&gt; understanding the meaning of standard Linux directoryes.
&gt;
&gt; I propose putting a WHATISHERE text file into every &quot;standard&quot; linux
&gt; directory with some brief description about that particular directory
&gt; (which kind of files go there and what are they intended for, when
&gt; useful) and some reference to the particular HOWTO, guide, man, doc
&gt; who best tell more about that.
While I find this a really cool idea I think it would be better done as a
HOWTO. Kind of a users version of the FHS, <A HREF="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/">http://www.pathname.com/fhs/</A>.
If done as a package that one could add or not add, I would see that as a
decent compromise, but still feel it would be better to point people to
/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/filesystem-standard-HOWTO or some such.
Just my 2 lira worth :).
ciao,
