Except that Ruby is pre-FHS, and FHS is a provincial standard not accepted by everyone in the Linux world in any case. Quite honestly, FHS is a mess and isn't something to be strived for. If you want something more useful, follow the BSD structure as a guide. But Ruby, since it's highly portable, should best be handled by Ruby. -austin -- Austin Ziegler * halostatue@gmail.com * Alternate: austin@halostatue.ca
