I was reading this article about Fedora moving files to /usr and saw a  
reference to GoboLinux which puts all files pertaining to packages  
under /Programs

I thought it was kinda cool that they took this route. I don't know  
how I would get used to it, if the de facto standard ever changed.

When installing packages in FreeBSD everything goes under /usr and  
/usr/local/etc for configuration files and init scripts, so right on  
for Fedora!

Anyhow, the reason I am writing this is cause it made me think of  
Jason Hu since he is developing Swift Linux. Since I don't use Debian  
based distros, do they also follow the same convention and put  
everything under the /usr directory?
