I think it's pretty much the same, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /var, /etc are all still there etc. One thing that can make the directory structure tricky is using the fink project. It recommends (and I like) using it's own directory tree, so it has you create a /sw directory and fink treats that as the root directory. So you can end up having apps in /bin, /usr/bin, /sw/bin, /sw/usr/bin... I can understand how some people might not dig that idea, but I like having it separate incase something goes wrong I won't blow up my whole distro. Jim
