ESETS
ESET Security is the standard acronym for all security products developed by ESET, spol. s

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

directory is '/opt/eset/esets' .
