Re: File locations for linux (and mostly other *nix too)

Hi Tim,



something to keep in mind...I run slackware linux 64 and I have completely abandoned their "Package" approach in favor of building from source and configuring locally.. I have no idea what the DOS folks do as I get very grumpy

everytime I have to boot into a dos box....



And I have no idea how the Mac folks do things...but I admire the Mac  approach...very beautiful, very elegant...



Good luck in your work...



I have the same feeling about Squeak that I had when Linux came out and I got it to run on my DS-something 486 with a whopping 128mb of RAM....



its a great language....



cordially,



t

Spent yesterday afternoon making a trivial AppImage for squeak on Pi. It really is RISC OS come back to delight me :-) 
Some clever add-on ideas to the old RISC OS application directory model - the companion directories for config files etc is interesting. I think it could make a very good way of distributing Squeak. 
 
T’is a pity though how poor the documentation is.
