File System

[Aaron Bingham]

Hello Maboroshi,

You are not the first to think that there might be an alternative to the 
filesystem.  Here are a few links to sites for projects where 
filesystems have been rethought or eliminated in very different ways.  
Most of this is unfortunately vaporware.  This is by no means a complete 
list:

Xanadu

Fenfire
