Talk:GoboLinux

message: Hi there, I'm Hisham Muhammad from the GoboLinux project. Please don't put my name on the "Company/developer" field in the infobox, as I'm not the only developer of the distro and I should not take full credit. I had it removed once but someone (logged by IP only) put it back. Thanks. --LodeRunner 05:20, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I can (and will) go to the GoboLinux website to find this out, but should it not be stated in the  and in the introduction that GoboLinux is based on... debian|knoppix|gentoo|red hat ???
: GoboLinux is not based on any other Linux distro. The original build was based on the Linux from Scratch instructions, but that is a manual to build a Linux distro, and not a distro by itself. -- LodeRunner (talk) 13:07, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I don't have any experience dealing with notability of articles. Nor do I have any special interest in Gobolinux -- but to claim it's not notable is a joke. It's not just another debian clone, but a novel linux concept and leads the field. I'm strongly for it staying on wikipedia, and the notability notice removed.

thread_title:  Notability 

message: So who of you admin-like guys labeled this page as advertisement please? Can whoever do this EXACTLY point out which words are annoying him? You already saw Hisham above commenting to give credit to the other guys as well and not him alone, and he isn't even writing anything in the page as such because this could be seen as being biased and subjective.
Well I am biased for sure. I think Goboliux is great and very different from the other Distributions that stick to the FHS, and a unneeded flag that claims this content is "advertisement" is truly ridiculous. What the heck exactly is advertisement in it? 80.108.103.172 (talk)
:Nevermind. I just removed the advertisement clause. If one of you other guys adds the advertisement clause back in PLEASE AT LEAST STATE WHAT EXACTLY IS ADVERTISEMENT THEREIN. Thanks. 80.108.103.172 (talk) 13:54, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The assertions that were POV have been reworded since, so it's ok to remove the tag now. Although they were few, I think the "ad" template was justified because of their prominence in the article.Diego (talk) 14:34, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Advertisement 

message: It would be great to see a section about reception (numbers of user adoption, general feedback) and criticism.  I have read a lot (on forums) about deep flaws in GoboLinux as a concept that are not mentioned here at all. 132.38.190.22 (talk) 15:49, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What flaws? You did not provide any link. Without specifics, there is no way to respond to it. From my opinion people who were critical of GoboLinux did not even know how GoboLinux is working, so there is that. 2A02:8388:1603:CB00:3AD5:47FF:FE18:CC7F (talk) 13:57, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reception/criticism 

message: The main article was a bit incorrect, stating that for a program "foo", stuff is put into /Programs/Foo - but this is not completely correct, since it will actually be put into the version-subdirectory there. Only a few directores will be at the toplevel /Programs/Foo, such as /Programs/Foo/Settings and such. I thus corrected the erroneous entry. 2A02:8388:1603:CB00:3AD5:47FF:FE18:CC7F (talk) 13:56, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Program directory 

message: The article states there are six directories at the root, yet lists only five: At the root of the GoboLinux tree, there are six directories: Programs, Users, System, Files, and Mount. WikiTippse (talk) 08:48, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
