This is a sort of peripheral question. I've used unix for several years --
lots of use in college, until I graduated, anyway -- but that path/file
has got to be about the most arcane thing I've ever seen. Yes, I'm new to
linux and actually getting behind the scenes of a *nix box, but is there
rhyme or reason to that convention? Relatedly, is there any kind of
reference that lists those "standard" unix system files and explains their
purpose? That would go a long way in helping me feel like I really have a
handle on what I'm doing.
