Of course, nobody forces you to use MiNT if it looks too hard...

Then again, we might as well teach people to install the common
filesystem hierarchy and use it properly, from day one.

However, it doesn't necessarily imply anyone should immediately
require EVERY mint port in the book or the full KGMD enchilada,
but even the most basic unix tool is designed to live within an
assortment of /etc /usr/bin /usr/etc /usr/share for its package
to function properly, so...

.. the choice seems like an obvious one to me.
