ObjectRoot

From objectroot Goto adopts an idempotent layout, allowing users, hosts and software to have a greater degree of independence. This makes the system much easier to manage. However Goto does not go quite so far as to to limit hosts and software to a single central disk repository. While it is compelling to have such a repository, it is actually less practical. Since software repositories may also be supplied via network resources, if there were only one possible location for software, it would be more difficult to pool these resources. By allowing for each user or group to have their own software repositories the system is already well equipped to handle such desperate sources.

One of the issues with objectroot's current design is that it leaves itself open to the possibility of running software compiled for a different architecture then the running host. This will inevitably lead to errors and worse system crashes.
