Package: GoboLinux Scripts
System name: goboscripts
Type: non-GNU

Description:
GoboLinux is a Linux distribution that breaks with the historical Unix 
directory hierarchy. Basically, this means that there are no directories such 
as /usr and /etc. The main idea of the alternative hierarchy is to store all 
files belonging to an application in its own separate subtree; therefore we 
have directories such as /Programs/GCC/2.95.3/lib. 



To allow the system to find these files, they are logically grouped in 
directories such as /System/Links/Executables, which, you guessed it, contains 
symbolic links to all executable files inside the Programs hierarchy.  To 
maintain backwards compatibility with traditional Unix/Linux apps, there are 
symbolic links that mimic the Unix tree, such as "/usr/bin -> 
/System/Links/Executables", and "/sbin -> /System/Links/Executables" (this 
example shows that arbitrary differentiations between files of the same 
category were also removed). 



The core of GoboLinux is its scripts that are used to maintain the integrity of 
the system as a whole and to help administrators to perform their tasks easily.
