While I was making my research before installing Debian
I saw that the filesystem hierarchy is not so friendly
(I'm new to GNU/Linux operating systems).
I saw there was a distribution called GoboLinux which
addressed that inconvenience, but according to a DistroWatch review,
it is not usable at all.
In my opinion, I think there would be no need to make another distro
to make such customizations to the system, it would be better
if it were implemented at a package level on an existing distro.
So, my question is: Is there a way to put another, more friendly,
filesystem hierarchy to Debian, like the one of GoboLinux?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
i wouldn't bother. really it is just a huge waste of time
for no real gain.
the problem is that you are new to linux/unix type system
and so you don't understand the history or layout as it is.
learn what is there as it is. you rarely need to work
outside /home/<username> for most things as a normal
user. when i install a new system i like to have /home
in a different partition from the rest of the system.
as root you may need to understand more but it isn't
that often you should be having to do a whole lot of
changes once you have a stable install set up.
Think of it as a vocabulary shift when moving from one section of the
country to another. I felt I had to learn a new language when moving
from very urban New York to rural Missouri. You get used to it ;}
