Just for completeness can I ask if the current info at
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Storage_Administration_Guide/s1-filesystem-fhs.html
and
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/

are in fact the latest?  If not can someone point to the source of the
most current version of the info?

Thanks
