The development mailing list is currently private but a general release is hopefully in the near future. Very recently FHS version 2.0 was released but there are still a few issues to be dealt with and even longer before this new standard will have an impact on actual distribusions. It is also a good idea to read the Linux Installation guides thoroughly and if you are using a PC system, which I guess the majority still does, you can find much relevant and useful information in the FAQs for the newsgroup comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware especially for storage media. First of all we need a bit of legalese.
Recent development shows it is quite important.
