All these directories in the root put off the not-so-tech-savvy desktop user. I'd go for creating a /system, and moving /proc, /sys, and yeah, even /dev into it. Whilst I have no problem putting anything anywhere on the filesystem, there's no denying that in it's currently layout, it's incredibly ugly.
Yes I know the work involved, which is why I've not done it :-p

Well, right, once in a while they get lost - but on their random walk down the file system they might just as well lose themselves in your /system directory as in /

The difference is the isolation of the acknowledged unmastered stuffs in one conceptually mastered place. Most l-users I know understand perfectly well the concept of root (everything on _their_ computer) in regard of the concept of home (all my personal stuffs and the personal stuffs of anybody I allow to use my computer).
securityfs Posted Oct 11, 2005 4:06 UTC (Tue) by efexis (guest, #26355) [Link] um... what??? Taking that to the extreme would be to say that wholecities may as well be built like mazes, without signposts or maps. Sure people might get lost, but as they are able to wonder into real mazes and get lost should they decide to, they may as well get lost outside them too. As I said, taken to the extreme, to illustrate a point. You could think of better closer to real-world examples if you put their mind to it. Maybe the electrics or pipes, and the meters they connect to that run through office blocks? Electricions/plumbers can get to them if they need to repair or make modifications to them, they have the knowledge, the tools. But if you just want to work in the office, and especially to employ others to, you want the stuff that's not needed out of the way. It's consciously/subconsciously processed everytime it's seen, clouding the mind, and creating a greater feeling of unfamiliarity. How can that possibly be a good thing?
