Re: Bootup and package managment (and a small status report)

[Alfred M\. Szmidt]

   The name /stow has no relation to the directory's usage (except for
   the negligible few who happen to know what GNU stow does), so it is
   no better than /pantry or /zoo for this purpose.  It is a bad
   choice.

I stronly disagree, stowing means putting something away in some
place, this is also the meaning of `installation'.  Pantry is for
`stowing' away food in a small storeroom, and zoo for `stowing'
animals in small cages.  But not as a general word for storing
something in some manner.

Maybe the word `stow' is more familiar to those who speak the British
dialect of English.

So much discussion for such a silly detail!
