I am glad they are working on version 16.
Version 15 available at torrent (be a seeder) which I down loaded yesterday.
16 version is alpha and availalbe at point to point download; Please test it and report any mishaps.
Thank you guys and girls at GoBoLinx.
The GoboLinux hierarchy represents a radical departure from the filesystem hierarchy traditionally employed by most UNIX-like operating systems where specific types of files are stored together in common standard subdirectories (such as
/bin
for executables and /etc for
configuration files) and where package managers are used to keep
track of what file belongs to which program. In GoboLinux, files from
each program are placed under their respective program's own
dedicated subdirectory. The makers of GoboLinux have said that "the
filesystem is the package manager", and the GoboLinux package
system uses the filesystem itself as a package database. This is said
to produce a more straightforward, less cluttered directory tree.
GoboLinux uses symlinks and an optional kernel module called GoboHide
to achieve all this while maintaining full compatibility with the
traditional Linux filesystem hierarchy.The creators of GoboLinux have stated that their design has other "modernisms", such as the removal of some distinctions between similar traditional directories (such as the locations of executables
/bin, /usr/bin,
and /usr/local/bin). GoboLinux designers
have claimed that this results in shell scripts breaking less often
than with other Linux distributions. GoboLinux also allows the user
to have different versions of the same program installed concurrently
(and even run them concurrently). Furthermore, it has been claimed
that the package management index could never become unsynchronized
with the filesystem, because references to nonexistent files simply
become broken links, and thus become inactive. GoboLinux's filesystem
changes also allow other innovations, such as an entirely new boot
system that does not use System V or BSD style init systems.
