   The installation layout differs for different installation types
      (for example, native packages, binary tarballs, and source
      tarballs), which can lead to confusion when managing different
      systems or using different installation sources. The individual
      layouts are given in the corresponding installation type or
      platform chapter, as described following. Note that the layout of
      installations from vendors other than Oracle may differ from these
      layouts.
