Re: [Nautilus-list] [OT] Ok here's an idea

That's a cool idea, but at this point, it's probably to late in the game
for linux to get such a thing, unless one wants to just use the linux
kernal and redo all the user applications.  However, to do so it outside
the scope of the GNOME project (the GNOME team has a lot of traditional
UNIX people who like files and files system as the currently exist), which
means that the GNOME project still needs a way to allow normal people to
manage files.
