Just to throw a few more wrenches...

Solaris uses /export for file systems that will be exported on NFS.
/export/home is for home directories.
/opt is for 3rd part packages.

/mnt and /home are used by automount to mount NFS file systems from servers

I'm using /misc on my Linux boxes where Solaris has /mnt
/media on Fedora linux is for CDs, USB drives.  I think Ubuntu uses it too.
Solaris uses /cdrom, /floppy and probably /usb.
