GoboLinux Rethinks The Linux Filesystems

Posted by timothy on from the deep-linking dept.

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.

    It's this type of attitude that keeps Linux away from newbies and wanna be converts. The poster wants to make things simpler for the 95% people of the world who, by their own choice or not, use Windows and are the most comfortable with it. You, by your own admission, state that the Windows file system is easy to use, but then blast the poster for wanting to make Linux easier in the same way. The Windows system, while not perfect, works quite well. The Linux world, however, is obsessed with reinventing the wheel, unconvinced that something they didn't invent could possibly be easier or better! Oh, I'm sorry... I guess I forgot that Linux forever has to have a steep learning curve. That way the Linux elites can feel special about their skills and fluant them over other users. Meanwhile, all along they proclaim how the demise of Gate's empire is just around the corner. Get real!!

    I figure RedHat would try to be more like Windows first...but it seems these guys jumped on the bandwagon early.
