  It’s just short for “user;” “User System Resources” is probably a backronym.

  I always thought it stood for user. I even say it that way.

  This email explains it in detail: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2010-December/074114.html
  
  TLDR: /usr stands for user

    That’s what I’d always thought. Thanks for correcting the bad info from the image. I’d hate to carry that bad info forward.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
