From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can't you just mount them on different high level folders? I got /Games for games, /Misc for tinkering with stuff and everything else on /. So I usually know what hard drive my stuff is on.

Yes, but if I am tinkering with someone else's system I don't know if they did that.

Yeah, that's a point I didn't consider.
