/etc holds global configuration stuff
/bin holds important binaries (such as ls)
/sbin holds system binaries (shutdown, mke2fs ...)
/tmp should be obvious
/lib holds important libraries
/usr holds less important, but still global stuff (also in /usr/lib,
/usr/bin ...)
/usr/local holds stuff that is local to this machine (the rest could be on
a network drive)
/var holds various bits and pieces (logs,mailqueues ...)
Most of these are standard, although there are some minor differences
between distributions.
