Re: [MLUG] need info

the reasons the fs is set up the way it is is twofold.
1: it is designed for interoperability/quickness
2: it breaks things down as to what they do.

/bin,/sbin,/lib == stuff the computer needs to boot.
/usr/bin,/usr/sbin,/usr/lib == stuff that is useful after computers boot, would
be updated more often and can be placed on a separate part to be blown out
should they get corrupted, or both loaded from a network location universal to
all boxes on the network.
/usr/local/* == custom stuff on the local location thereby limiting the need
for loading a couple hundred apps to every box on the network, just the ones
that need it.  
/home again often a separate part to be destroyed/recreated without affecting
system performance.
/var things that change _often_ tempfiles/logs


with this in mind, why on earth would you want to conglomerate all the
libraries in one locale?  have you tried doing an ls on the current structure,
much less if /lib /usr/X11/lib and /usr/lib were all stuck in the same place.
