Obviously this isn the whole system. If Étoilé uses a Unix-like base, where are my bin/ and etc/ folders, and where is my terminal?
The standard Unix hierarchy is there; it’s just not visible to regular users. The content that a Étoilé user normally has access to is within their home folder in a directory called workspace/; you can think of workspace/ as the base Project directory. The user’s home folder also contains a preferences/ folder, which contains the preference settings/configuration files for that user. However, the user doesn’t manipulate preferences/ directly. They can’t even see that folder in the Étoilé GUI. Through the use of preference panels in the GUI, these config files are modified. And, for the bold, there is a Terminal service which allows access to the *nix base.
