The Recommended Unix/Linux Filesystem Layout (FSH) for Enterprise (Third-Party) Packages

More often than not, a Unix/Linux system administrators are required to install 3rd party enterprise vendor software, and most of those times, they often have to go to the toilet and throw up.  Most of the time, the enterprise world puts in a seriously low dose of effort in writing the installer, and then the systems administrator has to watch it basically take a good dump all over their hard work, and contaminate their once-clean servers.

This document is a proposal for system administrators who are cautious, and care about standards and good practice.

It is a recommended filesystem hierarchy standard based on that created by the FHS Group, and open (and welcoming) to public scrutiny - as that but the most important ingredient in writing quality - be it software, standards or protocols.
