Being that Ubuntu is “linux for everyone”, I really like the idea of doing away with the FHS layout.
I mean how many forum users have absolutely no clue what /etc is? I can’t explain that some unix guy way back when named it that instead of /Configuration Files. It just sounds backwards.
I know gobolinux is fighting against it, but I am surprised I don’t read more about it. Good to see OSNews covered it today, maybe it will give people more awareness of ‘hey, now that it’s 2008 this is really frickin stupid’.
