2. Terminology and abbreviations
In this section we will review the terms and abbreviations used in this document. Note that a boldface font is reserved for
product component names and also for newly defined terms and abbreviations. Terms and abbreviations defined in this chapter
are expanded upon later in this document.
ESETS
ESET Security is a standard acronym for all security products developed by ESET, spol. s r. o. for Linux, BSD and Solaris
operating systems. It is also the name (or its part) of the software package containing the products.
RSR
Abbreviation for 'RedHat/Novell(SuSE) Ready'. Note that we also support RedHat Ready and Novell(SuSE) Ready variations of
the product. The RSR package differs from the 'standard' Linux version in that it meets the FHS (File-system Hierarchy Standard
defined as a part of Linux Standard Base) criteria required by the RedHat Ready and Novell(SuSE) Ready certificate. This means
that the RSR package is installed as an add-on application - the primary installation directory is '/opt/eset/esets'.
