Ok, it was good to here this ´cause I also was not completely sura about
/bin /sbin and so on. But one question still remains what is the difference
between /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin and the same goes for lib, etc, sbin
and man what is the difference between an /usr and and an /usr/local
directory or just one on the root ?
Could it be something that is more omportant on net servers and similar and
not on a stand alone, workstation as i use my linux system ?
