Ask OSNews is apparently quite popular among you guys; the questions just keep on coming in. Since David took on the first two, we decided to let me handle this one - it's an area I've personally covered before on OSNews: file system layouts. One of our readers, a Linux veteran, studied the GoboLinux effort to introduce a new filesystem layout, and wondered: "Why not adopt the more sensible file system from GoboLinux as the new LSB standard?"

"Library" is there to avoid filling up the root and home directory with an insane amount of subdirectories. If you look inside it, you'll see one or two dozen subdirectories. In / and /User/<username>, you have "Applications", which you want easy access to, and "Library" containing everything you don't fiddle with on a daily basis.
