Introducing GoboLinux 016

The GoboLinux project has announced the release of GoboLinux 016. The distribution takes a different approach to filesystem organization so that multiple versions of programs can all be installed at the same time. GoboLinux 016 has a new feature called Runner to manage that: "Runner is a brand new filesystem virtualization tool, specifically designed for GoboLinux. It dynamically changes a process' view of /System/Index based on the program's Dependencies file.From day one, GoboLinux has always supported keeping multiple versions of a program installed on disk at the same time, but when two versions had conflicts, you had to choose which one would be activated in the system as the default.With Runner, you don't need to worry about which version of a given dependency is currently linked (or activated) in /System/Index: Runner gives the process its own virtual /System/Index with all the right dependencies." Other features include the GoboNet wireless network manager and a desktop based on the awesome window manager.
