Thanks, I did not realized that possibility. There are tags too made to identify files or directories in a non-hierarchical manner. For the filesystem, though, I think that a hierarchy is very organized, and if well designed, you should be able to find there whatever you want without knowing where it is, just starting at the root directory. I think too that it could be better than both Debian and Windows are today. In Windows, if you look under C:\Windows\System32\ it becomes scary.
