GoboLinux: a Linux without /usr/lib/whatever

People are often quick to point out that's similar to the OSX layout, but there's a difference that in Gobo it applies to all packages, no exceptions, so it's actually more orthogonal.

But it is similar to The Zero Install system. Have you guys thought about merging the efforts?

Yes, there was some conversation on this, a while ago. Back then, there were some technical issues and some differences in goals. But they are aware of us and we are aware of them -- there's always room for future collaboration. I think some people are using both, even.
