Hi, Obviously one has to set up $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to get programs running properly. /usr/bin would be populated with scripts that do exactly that so that the change is transparent to the user. But that's really the implementation part of the idea, let's stick to the concept for the moment.. Isn't having one folder per application a nice feature? What I'm emphasizing here is separation for more flexibility. -Ilyes On Tue, May 12, 2009 at 11:37 AM, Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <ivazqueznet@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Tue, 2009-05-12 at 09:56 +0100, Ilyes Gouta wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I think it's a good idea to not throw everything in one location.
