I think that knowing what /home and /media are is enough. Does the typical Windows user know or care what is in \sys32? Do regular end users really need to know this stuff?

I suppose /usr, but how should it be structured? That was always one of the biggest questions I was wondering when I was running linux : where are the user apps? where are the conf files? where are the doc? And as a developer, like in java, how should I create an installer? I have no idea. really nice. thanks. but as a privileged user, where should I install a software only for me without using root?
