[gobolinux-users] Another /Programs folder

[tim wylie]

It's been awhile since I've been here, and the truth is because I've been 
using a different distribution  because I was doing a lot of audio 
production and didn't want to mess with trying to create recipes for all the 
programs I needed.  But now I'm trying to make the switch back and I have a 
question.

I think Gobolinux can be a bit constraining in that there is no directory 
freedom when there should be a bit more.  I switched to Gobolinux because it 
simplified many things which I liked, but at the same time it didn't help in 
other areas.  I want my /Programs to be programs that I install and I can 
uninstall, but instead programs is a directory for everything installed 
which is daunting.  When I need to go to a folder I have tons of folders to 
dig through, and a lot of them I don't even know what they're for.  I think 
there should be something like /SystemPrograms or something where I can 
stick udev, kde, libs, etc and only keep what I want in /Programs.  Since 
everything is linked there really should be no problem with giving users the 
flexibility to have multiple program directories so long as one application 
does not reside in more than one.

Anyway, just a thought.  This is my one problem with the system because the 
only workaround for this now is to install rootless for my user and that 
seems redundant since I'm running a gobolinux system.  Well, thanks for your 
time.
