Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 2.3 Released Posted Feb 12, 2004 20:20 UTC (Thu) by leandro (guest, #1460) [Link] This comes as a shock to me. I liked /media, /srv and /etc/opt, but:1) /etc/xml seems useless to me. After all, XML *is* SGML. /etc/sgml should be enough. 2) I have every NFS share mounted under /mnt. Never thought it should not be like that. What one should do, everything under /home? I guess so. 3) I really expected to get rid of this .file mess. I earn for ~/etc.
