man pages are documentation about system for users, admins and developers. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean that it's bad.
If some user has brain he don't need to go through it. He can use right click in GUI as in Windows. And name home is very clean description of for what this directory is. Normal user don't need to go outside of home. User which wants to be admin can go outside and he can touch anything in his system if he has appropriate rights. Again. You don't understand Unix (and don't want to understand), ZFS and so on and that's why you cry around. Your home directory is not on same partition. But this can understand only someone which want to understand. Login directly with root is not best thing, but worst thing as you can see with one unnamed OS which is so vulnerable to viruses, bots and so on. You don't need change permissions on / because of security and so on, but you can't understand it yet. Users can use emails, databases and so on without problems on Solaris, Linux, BSD, MacOS, Windows. But every time someone must install those OS's for them. If they aren't able to do that they can ask someone. Many people try it by them self without appropriate knowledge and we can see a lot of problems coming from it. Even MS is changing approach that every one can by sysadmin with their UAC's and so on. You can use file browser on OpenSolaris. Its name is Nautilus. It's a part of Gnome. And you can start it any time by clicking on Places - Home Folder or other links in Places. If you don't like it you can install another. You can have a lot of them. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
