/usr/src linux is shared among many side-by-side Linuxes

How is it if /usr/src linux is shared among many side-by-side Linuxes installation

[keskiverto]

Yes.

Or no. If only I could understand the question.

[Ganado]

Maybe?

Since you don't need the source code to boot any of them, I guess you can share /usr/src as much as you please.

Not a 100% verbatim copy-paste -- awesome.

There is an answer. Linux distribution can use Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) file system structure, which defines the names, locations, and permissions for many file types and directories.

Clearly the true answer is.... "42."

Or 69, or maybe even Turboencabulator...it's hard to say really.
