Looks an awful lot like the OS X layout... Not that there's anything wrong with that!

It's actually a lot different. The OS X structure is just the standard BSD structure, invisible in the Finder, with things like "Applications" and "Library" tacked on. OS X still has /etc and /var and /usr and all that. Gobo is much, much more elegant. Directory names serve a purpose, and it's basically self-documenting. I warmly recommend taking at least a look at GoboLinux. It is both conceptually beautiful and usable, not unlike Ruby. (I'm not a Gobo dev, and I'm actually an OS X user. I just really like GoboLinux.) -- Kristleifur 12:56, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Company/developer

Hi there, I'm Hisham Muhammad from the GoboLinux project. Please don't put my name on the "Company/developer" field in the infobox, as I'm not the only developer of the distro and I should not take full credit. I had it removed once but someone (logged by IP only) put it back. Thanks. --LodeRunner 05:20, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
