/opt is a "local variants" convention. Depending on which side of the bed I wake up on (my usual preferences are top and bottom), I may symlink it as /usr/local or /usr/local/opt. I like my roots clean. Generally, my /opt doesn't reflect the standard bin sbin etc lib structure, but has a mishmash of directories pertaining to software packages installed (mostly just OpenOffice). What I tend to do is symlink the appropriate executables, which really don't follow a rhyme or reason, to /usr/local/bin, rather than giving myself a long path. This tends to require less maintenance over time. Very much a personal style issue. Peace. -- Karsten M.
