GoboLinux Rethinks The Linux Filesystems 859
dolbywan_kenobi writes "GoboLinux is an alternative Linux distribution which redefines the entire filesystem hierarchy. In GoboLinux we have paths such as /Programs/XFree86/4.3/ and /System/Settings/BootScripts/Reboot." By design, GoboLinux is quite a bit different from most Linux distributions, and -- notably -- is a live ISO, always nice.

Of course it does. Using real words for directory names instead of easy to remember abbreviations is a mark of evil.
Remember, they did it just to piss you off.

How appropriate- MI6's Agent 006 was a traitor.
I like my filesystems shaken up, not stirred.

Pah, you Americans and your right-angle turn streets. Come to Britain and experience true street confusion - streets that turn right/left, with 'new' streets that carry on in a straight line, streets that change their name half way along, crazy one way systems and roundabouts. Seriously, non-intuitive names are a piece of cake by comparison.
Of course, I quite *like* the mad streets over here, it's symptomatic of the wealth of history this country has, and grid-layout streets IMO feel very very artificial by comparison. But then, I'm biased.

Yes. Windows has this problem solved completely. For example in windows when you install a file it goes into c:\program files\progname. All the libraries go into c:\winnt\system32. The config files sometimes go into the c:\program files\progname or into c:\winnt\systems32 ir get merged into a binary file called the registry. Any files that are shared go into c:\program files\common files\progname.
Linux will no go anywhere until program installs are as clean as windows. Look how nice the windows system is!
