GoboLinux is an alternative Linux distribution which reorganizes the entire filesystem hierarchy. In GoboLinux, the contents of each program is stored under a directory, such as /Programs/Xorg/6.8.2/. This contrasts with the traditional paths and directory layout as described in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard used by most Linux distributions and other Unix derivatives, and much like the system used in Mac OS X.

GoboLinux s filesystem changes have also led to other changes, such as an entirely new boot system that doesn t use System V or BSD style init systems, and a package system based upon the lack of need for a package database in lieu of relying on the filesystem itself acting as a package database.
