While not an OSX layout, I myself have played around with file structure on linux. It's really easy to move stuff around, but often times I needed symlinks and that got a little hairy. Certainly Gentoo or LFS would be easy distros to reconfigure the filesystem. I guess the real question is WHY? I realized after moving things around that my efforts were somewhat pointless. Sure, I had a layout that made sense to me, but no one else. Then when I sat down on another linux box I was lost again, because I was used to my filesystem. I gave up and decided that since the linux layout works, and all distros use it, there's really no need to go changing it. -Brian _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
