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?"

For a locally installed application, compiled from source: /usr/local/bin, libraries in /usr/local/lib, data files in /usr/share/appname/; for a distribution package /usr/ and ditto. It's simple enough for any developer to understand, and the user doesn't need to know.
