I stumbeld upon this linux distribution today. What is really speciall about it is how they have set up the filesystem in a very inovative way that even most windows users can understand and use.
In GoboLinux you don’t need a package manager because the filesystem is the package manager: each program resides in its own directory, such as /Programs/Xorg/7.2/ and /Programs/KDE-Libs/3.5.8
I havent tried this myself yet but i plan on trying it out on a VM very soon.
Gobolinux’s FS layout have some advantages, like:
* Easy package management, no need to handle and track multiple files scatered in the system
* Easy coexistence of multiple versions of the same package
* Easy to rollback, just change symlinks
* Easy for third-party application distribution, just make a bundle with all it needs
