I have some basic questions about GoboLinux as I'm far from a power
user. Please don't regard them as critical or snarky as I admire
innovation. It seems GoboLinux exists for education/presentation and
administration.
Education/presentation results from the links which group programs and
such. That's good. Am I correct that /bin, /boot and such are hidden
by simply making them /.bin, /.boot etc?
Administration seems to be the ability to remove a program using one
directory. For instance, rm -rf /Programs/OpenOffice? However, as
GoboLinux is designed to compile programs, isn't there usually an
uninstall command with the source? I'm a little hazy about the broken
link explanation for a problem program. What's the advantage again?
And it appears I can compile a program without a recipe using
conventional methods. For instance:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
The above should work? The drawback is the program wouldn't appear
under /Programs. Correct?
What other advantages am I not understanding?
