But as usual,that is not the issooo.
A damn funny discussion is going on here about what does "etc" stand for in /etc(*No* further explanation) . I vote for "et cetera", but that misses the point entirely.The FUN point,that is.
The top Backronymns is :
Editable Text Configuration
Stallman ishtlye(Left Recursive):
Etc Text Configuration.
etc(don't pardon the pun) :
Extended tool chest
Enormous Trove of Configuration files
But some smart Aleck spoiled all the fun:
And, as another user pointed out "editable text configurations" is a stupid name too, because if it's text, it's evidently editable. So why not just "text configurations" then? Also, in early Unix, everything was editable (remember, in Unix, everything is a file), so that's superfluous too. And, lastly, it was the repository for a lot of things that weren't configurations, including binaries.Taking a cue from "Editable Text Configuration", The below list was created.
Again, this is a backronym, and not even a clever one.
