Directory | Description |
/applic/ | The default directory for all non-standard software we install. /opt is a link to this directory so 3rd party software won't choke trying to find it. |
/applic/Answerbook | Where all of our Answerbook files are kept. This will initially keep only the user and sysadmin documents online. The rest will all be located on optical drive which will be accessible via links in this directory. Justification: All these damn Answerbooks are stored in postscript format(read BIG!). |
/applic/(astro-group-abbrev) | Each research group has its own 3 letter abbreviation: nir == Near Infrared Group fir == Far Infrared Group ath == Astro Theory Group apx == Astrophyics Group - Additional theory space alp == Harry Fulbright's Advanced Lab Projects class. |
/applic/apx/rsi | The IDL installation directory. |
.../gnu/bin|info|lib|man | All software from the GNU project is stored here. |
.../bin|info|lib|man | All non-GNU softare is installed here. |

Directory | Description |
/bin & /usr/bin | SVR4 style binaries. |
/cdrom & /cdrom/cdrom# | When a CD is placed in the drive it gets automounted into /cdrom/cdrom# where # is from 0..n (0 represents the first drive). |
/etc | System configuration files. |
