Wouldn't it behoove MS, to implement the /home concept (separating the OS from the users' data in different partitions) ? Once I got "into" Linux, I never understood why MS did not implement this.
They did, and do. Only they call it the user's "profile". C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\.... There are even automatically set environment variables that point to the appropriate subdirectories. For example %USERPROFILE% points to the current user's profile and %TMP% points to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local \Temp, etc.... It is LINUX that recently, and finally, - with XDG - decided to come up with a standard most applications and environments follow. This verses the plastering of the home directory with 'secret' dot directories and files that nothing an nobody can manage. -- Adam Tauno Williams GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
