Do you mean that:
1) /usr is dedicated to the system, (NFS sharing /usr across multiple
independent systems would be out)
-or-
2) /usr is part of the root partition, much like how /lib is now.
The latter implies the former, of course.
The last time I installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux (which was RHEL 5.2)
I was still given the option of making a separate partition for /usr. I
have never installed Fedora or SuSE. The last time I installed Ubuntu
was multiple years ago, so I don't know what they are doing currently.
Thank you for clearing up this point of confusion.
