Now, before you get bored, let's put you in an imaginary situation where you can put your Linux skills to work. Imagine that you are a zoo administrator and the zoo has recently purchased a Linux system to keep track of its animals. You've been asked to create a file structure which contains a file for each type of animal in the zoo. Your first attempt was to create a "flat" file structure with all of the animals in the same directory. This structure is shown to the right, with the files represented by pictures of animals to make things more interesting. Upon further consideration, you realize that as you add more and more animals to the structure, it will be easier to manage if you put all animals of the same family, such as primates, in separate directories.
