After three and a half years since the last release is formed<\/a><\/noindex> the release of the distribution GoboLinux 017<\/a><\/noindex>. In GoboLinux, instead of the traditional file hierarchy found in Unix systems, a layer<\/a><\/noindex> there is a stack-based model for creating the directory tree, where each program is installed in a separate directory. The size of the installation image<\/a><\/noindex> is 1.9 GB, which can also be used to explore the features of the distribution in Live mode.<\/p>\n

The root in GoboLinux consists of the directories \/Programs, \/Users, \/System, \/Files, \/Mount, and \/Depot. A drawback of combining all application components in one directory, without separating settings, data, libraries, and executable files, is the need to store data (such as logs and configuration files) alongside system files. The advantage is the ability to install different versions of the same application in parallel (for example, \/Programs\/LibreOffice\/6.4.4 and \/Programs\/LibreOffice\/6.3.6) and simplifying system maintenance (for instance, to remove a program, simply delete the associated directory and clean up the symbolic links in \/System\/Index).<\/p>\n

To comply with the FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard), executable files, libraries, logs, and configuration files are distributed across the familiar directories \/bin, \/lib, \/var\/log, and \/etc via symbolic links. These directories are not visible to the user by default, thanks to a special kernel module<\/a><\/noindex>, which hides these directories (the contents are accessible only with direct file access). To simplify navigation by file types, the distribution includes the \/System\/Index directory, where symbolic links denote various types of content. For example, the list of available executable files is presented in the subdirectory \/System\/Index\/bin, shared data in \/System\/Index\/share, and libraries in \/System\/Index\/lib (for instance, \/System\/Index\/lib\/libgtk.so links to \/Programs\/GTK+\/3.24\/lib\/libgtk-3.24.so).<\/p>\n

For package building, the project ALFS<\/a><\/noindex> (Automated Linux from Scratch) contributions are used. The build scripts are formatted as
\nrecipes<\/a><\/noindex>, which automatically loads the program code and required dependencies on startup. For quick software installation without recompilation, two repositories are offered with pre-built binary packages \u2014 the official one, supported by the distribution's development team, and the unofficial one, created by the user community. The distribution is installed using an installer that supports both graphical and text modes. <\/p>\n
