Actually, makes me think about the A3000/UX, I always wanted to see one of
them. They would be cool.

That's actually a very simple thing to do on Amiga, too.
Just put muFS on your machine, and append to the configdir/.profile

if exists $Home/.sys
assign ROOTSYS: SYS:
assign SYS: $Home/.sys
assign SYS: ROOTSYS: ADD
endif

Now, for every user make $Home/.sys/s , .sys/c , sys/libs sys/classes, and
so on. Don't forget to reassign C: LIBS: etc as well, personally I allow
auto-reassign of s: and envarc: and the rest is done with programs like
muBackdrop, etc... all my additions to C: and LIBS: are kept on my work
partition, the original libraries and commands are left alone.

Amiga makes it, well, not necesarily possible, but a lot of fun trying anyway.
