It does the self-contained packaging you prefer. So if you install version 1.2.3 of a program Foo, it'll go in /Programs/Foo/1.2.3/ . Yopu can also have multiple versions of the same program, e.g. /Programs/Foo/2.1.0/ as well, if different packages depend on different versions of other packages.
- krakensden 17y agoGoboLinux is really quite nifty, but are they still doing that thing where they try and selectively hide the normal linux filesystem structure? I approve of their goals, the method just seemed cracktastic.
- kqr2 17y agoGobohide is an optional kernel extension which is purely for aesthetic reasons. http://www.gobolinux.org/index.php?page=at_a_glance http://www.gobolinux.org/index.php?page=at_a_glance You may have noticed that the Unix paths did not show up in the system root listing in the very first example. They are actually there, but they are concealed from view using the GoboHide kernel extension. This is for aesthetic purposes only and purely optional, though: GoboLinux does not require modifications in the kernel or any other system components.
