Yes. _my_ directory structure will certainly look differently. Jack has yet another one, Joe a third and Mary a fourth. People who use Linux for their desktop usually enjoy one thing: That they can sort things according to _their_ needs, not according to whatever some "expert" in Redmond has prescribed. Define the roles, but don't define the directories. If I want my downloads in ~/Downloads/ and not in ~/content/downloads/ there is no reason not to allow me that. Plus, I still don't dig your "content" idea. First, it's a marketing buzzword abstraction with zero meaning for regular folks. Two, are you kidding me? How much "non-content" do you think I store in my $HOME to give "content" it's own subdirectory? -- http://web.lemuria.org/pubkey.html pub 1024D/2D7A04F5 2002-05-16 Tom Vogt Key fingerprint = C731 64D1 4BCF 4C20 48A4 29B2 BF01 9FA1 2D7A 04F5 -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
