Just to mention Wollfshead, those folder names are not an absolute requirement to have
a server running on linux. I have a Debian box, but I have things setup my own way.
Those guides and tutorials are there for people who need them, but once you learn a lot,
you'll be able to manage things with your own preferences.
On my linux box, I have a /home/peqdb folder, where I keep my db backups and any scripts
I generally query in to the database. My server folder, I keep everything in one folder,
just like windows, rather than running symlinks. I just chmod anything I need to at the beginning.
I also keep a /home/source folder to download all the source (and updates)
when I need to, as well as many other folders for my own arrangement.
There is some things you have to follow suit on, but a lot can be based on
your own preferences.
