hmmm... I don't see the problem, really!
Of course many people only know the windos file hierarchy, but unix' file
hierarchy is much better and (in my opinion) simpler.

/bin - most important console programs
/sbin - root's toys ;)
/usr/bin - console apps
/usr/X11/bin - X11 apps
/etc - global configuration files - much better than the windoze registry!
.

It's logical. People just have to read a book - not even that - You can
explain the basic concept of the unix filesystem hierarchy on a single page,
so there's no need to make things look "newbee friendly". They are already!
