lineal and linear mean relating to lines... usually straight lines.

Feet are a measurement of distance - usually in a straight line.

Lineal feet or linear feet ARE "just" feet.

5 linear feet means 5 feet long.

The word lineal or linear is sometimes used to avoid confusion with square feet, which measure area, or cubic feet, which measure volume.
