Earlier this week, we ran a
story on GoboLinux, and the distribution's effort to replace the
Filesystem Hierarchy Standard with a
more pleasant, human-readable, and logical design. A lot of people liked the idea of modernising/replacing the FHS, but just as many people were against doing so. Valid arguments were presented both ways, but in this article, I would like to focus on a common sentiment that came forward in that discussion: normal users shouldn't see the FHS, and advanced users are smart enough to figure out how the FHS works.

good point. Imagine if computer languages were redesigned for non english languages. In some sense you have to know at least some english before you can really get into the computer.
