Package: GoboLinux Scripts
System name: goboscripts
Type: non-GNU

Description:
GoboLinux is a Linux distribution that breaks with the historical Unix directory 
hierarchy. Basically, this means that there are no directories such as /usr and /etc. 
The main idea of the alternative hierarchy is to store all files belonging to an 
application in its own separate subtree; therefore we have directories such as 
/Programs/GCC/2.95.3/lib. 



To allow the system to find these files, they are logically grouped in directories 
such as /System/Links/Executables, which, you guessed it, contains symbolic links to 
all executable files inside the Programs hierarchy.  To maintain backwards 
compatibility with traditional Unix/Linux apps, there are symbolic links that mimic 
the Unix tree, such as "/usr/bin -> /System/Links/Executables", and "/sbin -> 
/System/Links/Executables" (this example shows that arbitrary differentiations between 
files of the same category were also removed). 



The core of GoboLinux is its scripts that are used to maintain the integrity of the 
system as a whole and to help administrators to perform their tasks easily.
