Thanks Alex. I have followed landley as well and he is pretty sharp
especially on history. He does make a valid point that we really don't
need the file system laid out the way it is, and i can see why people
would like to have it set up more simply like stali. I myself was

/usr/sbin however everything is placed into /usr/local/bin. I assume
there was a thought or reason? Perhaps leaving it open for choic

Thanks for the links i will check it out! Also i wasn't aware of the
-F function, playing with it now and that is a big help with working
around the whole color bit. Clearly the / is for directories. How are
the rest used? Surprisingly even google doesn't know. From what i
could see they didn't lab
