A very simplistic (and rough) answer would be: /lib /bin are to do with the real core of unix/linux, like the kernel modules live in /lib/modules /usr/lib /usr/bin are the applications/libraries that run on top of the core unix/linux, things that the users make use of, hence '/usr' /usr/local/

my 2.1 cd installed a great deal of stuff under /usr/doc, and the new potato (i.e. 'apt-get upgrade', with /etc/apt/sources.list pointing to 'frozen') puts bunches of stuff in /usr/share/doc. what's the functional or intellectual distinction: /lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib
