6 Concluding remarks

As presented in Section , the search for alternatives to reorganize the UNIX directory tree is a subject of several projects. This paper presented a new proposition for the UNIX directory structure, differing from previously existing projects mainly because there is no legacy tree coexisting with the main tree, allowing for a greater self-consistency and elegance. Practical experience showed the total viability and compatibility of the presented ideas, as well as making evident the benefits brought by this new structure.
