Unlike Windows, Linux has a unified file system. In Windows, all paths start with a drive letter, like C: ( C:\Users\Joe\Documents\readme.txt ) A flash drive may mount as F:, and a CD may mount as E:. In Linux, there are no drive letters, and all paths begin from the root directory (/) ( /home/joe/readme.txt ) Storage devices will instead mount to folders. A flash drive may mount to /media/Lexar So, to answer your question, Linux only has one directory tree, the uppermost level of which is known as the file system's root.
It is the Home Directory.
