Global configuration files are usually found in /etc/ssh/.
/ The root directory. All other directories are under this one./boot The kernel image, bootloader, and are stored here./etc Many of Linux's configuration files, including kernel module configuration./bin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin Any of these "bin" directories will hold executable binaries (i.e. program commands)./usr This holds most user applications, documentations, graphics, etc./lib, /usr/lib Important system libraries are stored here./root The system administrator's home directory./home All other home directories for all users are here. For example, a user's home directory might be /home/user./var Variable data, such as mail spools, log files, etc./tmp Temporary files created and used by applications./dev Devices are setup in this directory./mnt Mount points for filesystems, whether physical or virtual./proc This is a virtual directory which contains information about the kernel/lost+found Files that might have been recovered after a bad shutdown or other event might show up in the lost and found.

* Folders are where "files" are kept. * Files are saved to "folders".
it isn't the same for every single set up, sometimes it doesn't even have it's own partition. if you're just looking for the files themselves, see /boot
The directory - holds the title, type and size of files, programs and system data. It shows the computer where to find everything that's stored on the hard-drive(s). It also stores the physical location of the start & end of each program/file.
Most nix based systems put them in a hidden folder back in the home directory. Something like like: ~/.ssh/ Then look for the identity files. Maybe someone else can answer this for win based systems.
No one, its open source.
It is used to reuse the space from deleted files for new files, if it is possible. System contains a free space list that holds the list of free spaces in disk...
The hard drive keeps the operating system. When the computer is on, some of the files get loaded on to the RAM for faster access
On MS platforms, the system partition is used to hold the boot files. The boot partition holds all the windows operating system files. Leave it to Microsuck to mis-lable the partition hiearchy. The system partition holds what is loaded and executed first after the computer runs through its preliminary BIOS boot sequence. It tells the computer where to start loading the operating system from; the boot partition. The boot partition is where all the program files (thousands of them) needed by the operating system are stored. If the system partition is deleted; the computer will not find the operating system. If the boot partition is deleted, again; the computer will not find the operating system.
