Depending on your settings, users may be able to use
the shutdown or reboot commands to perform these tasks.
Working with the Linux File System
As the Internet has just a few specific but well-known top-level domains (.com, .net, .org,
.edu, and the like), so too are Linux files organized in a particular hierarchy, with specific
directories that hold specific types of files.
CHAPTER 5 Getting Started with openSUSE 72
Virtually all Linux distributions have the same structure, and this is likely to become
more entrenched with the Linux Standard Base specifications becoming more universal.
The Linux Standard Base (http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/LSB) is an effort to make
all Linux distributions more compatible with each other, and with most applications.
Novell/SUSE is a longtime supporter of this effort, and has been compliant with LSB standards
since LSB v1.0. In addition, the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard seeks specifically to
standardize the contents of the top-level Unix/Linux directories. This structure is beautiful
for software developers because they can know what directories will be present on each
user??™s machine and can install programs into the appropriate directory.
