From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

When you use Linux, it is most likely that you are using either the Fat32, or Ext4 file system. They are almost exactly the same.

Gobo linux still uses traditional filesystems such as ext4. The hierarchy is all that's different. Furthermore, fat32 and ext4 are not "almost exactly the same".

What does this possibly mean? Variables are stored in memory only. A file that changes a lot is not called a "variable".

Your articles are much shorter than those posted on most blogs, so there is no excuse for not double checking your spelling and facts before posting them.

GoboLinux stores all application data under one folder appdata/gimp structure (like Windows Program Files), not spread around in /etc/ and /config, like most other distros
