What exactly is a Linux filesystem?

I am having trouble understanding exactly what a Linux filesystem is.


I understand it is the "directory" of files and folders located on the system: like /bin, /sbin, /etc, /opt, and so on. However, I also hear things like:



"I just need to install the filesystem on this disk."



Is that simply referring to the structure of folders in Linux? How does that tie in with ext2, ext3, ext4 types of filesystems and how are they installed exactly?
