What goes where? Filesystem hierarchy in Unix/Linux/OS X
Although it is one of the first chapters one read when starting with Linux/Unix, it is always confusing where should we put what when it comes to installing stuff on Linux/OS X computers.
I found a detailed reference Filesystem Hierarchy standard website.
It is also worth knowing, why is it important to store any new customized apps in /usr/local.
