I have taken to running these as a part of my way to humanize OS neXt.
cd /
sudo ln -s /private/var _var
sudo ln -s /Volumes _Volumes
sudo ln -s /sbin _sbin
sudo ln -s /bin _bin
sudo ln -s /private/etc _etc
sudo ln -s /usr _usr
cd ~
ln .netrc _netrc
ln .tcshrc _tcshrc
ln .telnetrc _telnetrc
ln -s .MacOSX _MacOSX
ln -s .cpan _cpan
The effect is to create visible hard or symbolic links to the things that Apple insists on hiding. One can also set Finder to show all files but that creates a problem with the .DSstore files that one really wants to be hidden. If you show them in icon modes they jump around all over the window.
