I thought I'll make this thread for all of you out there who have questions but are afraid to ask them. This is your chance!

I'll try my best to answer any questions here, but I hope others in the community will contribute too!

    There's a standard. /usr was often a different partition.

    /bin - system binaries
    /sbin - system binaries that need superuser privileges
    /usr/bin - Normal binaries
    /usr/sbin - normal binaries that require superuser privileges
    /usr/local/bin - for executables that aren't 'packaged' - i.e., installed by you or some other program system-wide
