Re: [OT] GentooLinux GNUstep Developer

Well, I knew someone was going to mention this:

The basic idea is that there is no Local.  Applications, whether 
package/installed or user installed go in /Applications, that's just 
where apps go.  There is still a /System/Applications, but it is being 
used for apps which the user will never directly launch,such as 
GWorkspace or Stepbox.

Just about everything, besides the gnustep-core, is installed in /.

That's just the way i decided to do it.
