So they take the MacOS file structure to Linux? Sounds horrible to me. I always loved the structure of the Unix file system. It's simple and rather efficient. You wonder if a specific binary is installed? Look in /bin. You wonder if where to configure something? Look in /etc. You want to write a program that gives you a list of all binaries installed (like a shell)? Use the path variable that contains a few paths and check their contents. In gobolinux this variable is either huge or they use yet another mechanism. It clearly will not get better though.

The file structure should be efficient for the computer and can be abstract for the user as they want a icon on their desktop and not much more.
