A note about SSL/TLS trusted certificate stores, and platforms

Why are there so many places on a Linux machine to put in certificates? AdamW has a nice explanation I don't want to hold out. In short: /etc/ssl is Debian bases, /etc/pki is RHEL based. There is no standard, and all do what they like.
