tlug: Question

["Alan B. Stone" <stoneab@example.com>]

Hi all,

This may sound like a stupid question, but one of my co-workers asked me
today as I was setting up a system with RedHat, why RedHat (and others)
have a "root" directory, while systems like Solaris do not?  I couldn't
answer his question.  To be honest the more I use the SUN at work I'm
not quite sure I see the use for it either.  Can someone explain this
one to me?

Thanks, and sorry if this is a dumb question.  I look in the "Unleashed"
book, but as many of you probably know, it is not all knowledgable
either.

Blaine
