I've only been an Archer for a short time, but I like the KISS
philosophy Arch has in respect to the directory structure. One thing
I hated about other distros is that they put games in a separate
directory.

Why?! To reward programs(games) that don't respect the unix standards
with an own folder? What's so special about games anyway? If the admin
installed them, they are there for a reason.

What's next? Installing all text editors in /usr/texteditors? And how
many system actually install games and only want an /explicit/ set of
users to play them? One on thousand Arch system perhaps?

KISS please. Just my $.50.

Best regards,


Hugo
