File System Preferences

This is one of those programs that can be controversial, either as a must-have or a bane of evil all users (Sorry, playing Zelda…).

This program is Joel Bryan’s File System Preferences. It’s not a program per se, but rather a script.

Now, if you had used Mac OSX before as a Unix veteran, you might have noticed the strange filesystem (not the HFS+, I’m talking about the structure). Instead of “/usr”, you have “/Library”.

With this program you can make that a reality…In Nautilus only. That is, those strange directories are still there, just covered up in Nautilus. This a great boon for newbies everywhere =D.

To install, just click on the link on “The software is available here.”. Double-click the deb in Debian/Ubuntu, alien it in other distros.

To run, go to “System” -> “Administration” -> “File System Preferences” or run “filesystem-settings” in the Terminal/<Alt-F2>. Select your mode =).
