- red_admiral 6y agoThe file structure is standardised, the document you want for all the details is called the FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard), though for a blog article you can also look at https://www.howtogeek.com/117435/htg-explains-the-linux-directory-structure-explained/ https://www.howtogeek.com/117435/htg-explains-the-linux-dire... for example. For UNIX ideology (more commonly known as UNIX philosophy) you could do worse than http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/taoup/html/index.html http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/taoup/html/index.html - especially chapter 1 for starters.
