At this point, even doing an ls is difficult, forget separating out different architectures and operating systems. Some file names have the architecture or OS name in them but even that usage is not consistent. It would be far easier for folks interested in only a part of the distribution to be able to focus on the files that they are interested in. I do believe though that if there is a method to the madness, it is up to the newbies to learn it. So, is there a method to the file structure? Thanx!
