Adobe Experience Manager Sites & More

mainly looking at these

/apps - i know custom osgi packages are installed here but what's the differences between /apps and /libs
/conf - I know some of our custom config goes here.
/etc - I know our resource mapping goes here but what else is in here? more settings?
/libs - almost seems
/system
/var - this seems to be the logging/"working area"?

I have linux experience but I'm unsure if the path names translate to their Linux equivalent (where available).

Thanks!

Can someone please explain the differences/purposes of these main folders (example: /conf) in AEM?
