GoboLinux

Interesting new distro out of Brazil, with a new directory structure (the old /usr/bin and /lib are gone). In the words of GoboLinux, the filesystem itself IS the package manager. They also have their version of Gentoo's Portage,called Compile.
Slashdot are discussing this here

One wonders if this distro is a direct or indirect result of the Brazilian governments pro-Linux stance.
