We call that a "subsystem" in engineering. Heh :) Generally speaking, it's good design if a system can have physical modularity to some extent, ie logical modularity is evident in the case of X11 but physical modularity makes it more sensible to deal with. Therefore, a system that uses an efficient unified filesystem implementation instead of a packaging system to keep track of file locations would be much more consistent than Debian.[*] I'm hoping to see something like that with the use of more advanced kernels. Thanks, [*] So every package looks like X11. Packaging system's responsibility is making sure that the system is consistent and in a working state rather than showing you which file is stored where... - -- Eray Ozkural (exa) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comp.
