Could someone tell me how RedHat's filesystem layout is so "terrible"
?

I'm just curious, since I haven't gone over it with a fine tooth-comb,
and last time I bothered looking, it looked heaps better than I
remember Slackware being, and seemed pretty similar to Debian.

Or did FHS 2.0 change everything such that RedHat haven't caught up
yet and everyone else has ?

Andrew, posting from his Debian system, but also a happy RedHat user.
