Rather than following the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard like most Unix-like systems, each program in a GoboLinux system has its own subdirectory tree, where all of its files (including settings specific for that program) may be found. Thus, a program "Foo" has all of its specific files and libraries in /Programs/Foo.

Separate directories do not imply conflicting versions colliding (which I guess it what you refer to?). In fact, I'd say is it less likely. Can you eloborate?
