From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes, you put the app in /opt, no not in /bin or /usr/bin
Distros should ship with this this under /readme.jpg
Not when I use it!
Holy shit. I’ve been wondering about this for so long
A blast from the past!
Don't forget /auto, for things that get automatically mounted when you first access them (autofs)
New knowledge. Thanks.
it usually seems more like whatever distro doing things however they want rather than following any standard
