They had a presentation on the IV Free Software International Forum in
Porto Alegre (Brazil) this year and I can assure you I didn't hear a
lot of good things about this (I didn't actually attend to the thing,
but other DD's did).
It seems like a mess of symlinks and they say it doesn't need 'package
management' when it actually has a bunch of scripts to handle the symlink
'farm' they grow on /usr/bin and such.
Doesn't seem like a clean solution to me, no no no...
It also seems like they want to have each package installed in its
own directory, which I think sucks tremendously... I hated that when
I lived with windows... I always wanted to have all my binaries in
the PATH, etc. And the real end user does not even care about that.
I don't really care about /. I think path abstraction should be achieved
by graphical file management utilities like Nautilus, not by messing
with something that's actually working, to then cause more problems.
