Anyone else get annoyed at some of these distros that think they're 
making the system more user-friendly by putting everything into /etc 
rather than in /etc/xyz? There are so many files there already that 
finding the right one can be tricky. Having the files that should be in 
subdirectories all crammed in too just makes it harder. Debian irks me 
with this too. /etc/init.d rather than /etc/rc.d/init.d, /dvd rather 
than /mnt/dvd, etc. Lossing directory structure doesn't seem very useful 
to me. The LSB screwed the pooch on this one I think. :P
