I feel adding the symlinks is part of providing the best system.
There is little downside and they can help the transition for new
experienced users. That said, we should avoid /opt, /media, and /srv.
We don't have the equivalent and it would only cause confusion.
This is my point as well. There's no bad thing about adding symlinks, in
this case GoboHidden, as far as I can see, but they can be advantageous
when users migrate from other distros. They could also be helpful for new
linux users, if (when) we get such using GoboLinux, when they can read
suggestions and pointers posted for other distributions as the directories
(symlinks) exist.
For /opt I'm unsure what to do, I don't even know what it's used for, but
I think that we should have directories corresponding to /media and /srv.
Having a standard place where media mounts is a good thing, so that users
know where to look and such things can be integrated in gui, like placing
icons on desktop or similar. I really don't know where such directory
should be called or placed in GoboLinux, but I use /Mount for that.
Same goes for files used by servers such as Apache and Subversion. Perhaps
defining what /Files or /Depot are used for could help here. As it is now
they aren't well defined imo. I use /Files for such, on my server. Having
this defined would also help recipe creation, making it possible to
provide stub configuration files, that actually works out of the box, and
that the users can find the newly installed files, i.e. apaches default
htdocs.
