Introduction For unclear reasons this brand new release is codenamed the Taylor3 release. New code names will appear as per industry standard guidelines to emphasize the state-of-the-art-ness of this document. This document was written for two reasons, mainly because I got hold of 3 old SCSI disks to set up my Linux system on and I was pondering how best to utilise the inherent possibilities of parallelizing in a SCSI system. Secondly I hear there is a prize for people who write documents... This is intended to be read in conjunction with the Linux Filesystem Structure Standard (FSSTND). It does not in any way replace it but tries to suggest where physically to place directories detailed in the FSSTND, in terms of drives, partitions, types, RAID, file system (fs), physical sizes and other parameters that should be considered and tuned in a Linux system, ranging from single home systems to large servers on the Internet. The followup to FSSTND is called the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) and covers more than Linux alone. FHS versions 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 have been released but there are still a few issues to be dealt with. Many recent distributions are now aiming for FHS compliance. It is also a good idea to read the Linux Installation guides thoroughly and if you are using a PC system, which I guess the majority still does, you can find much relevant and useful information in the FAQs for the newsgroup comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware especially for storage media. This is also a learning experience for myself and I hope I can start the ball rolling with this HOWTO and that it perhaps can evolve into a larger more detailed and hopefully even more correct HOWTO. First of all we need a bit of legalese. Recent development shows it is quite important.

Random Linux Commands
Console Similar to the dos prompt in MS windows. When you log in to Linux in text mode, you are at the console (command line). Most distro's run the X Window System (which allows you to run GUI's such as KDE, Gnome) by default. On servers or older hardware which don't require or can't handle X, the console is the main Linux interface.
