OS-Vendor-provided stuff goes in /usr. Anything else installed by the admin goes in /usr/local. On FreeBSD, only the base system goes in /usr, and all other packages go into /usr/local. To me, that's screwy -- it makes /usr/local really quite useless. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB. CCs of replies on mailing lists are welcome.
