If you wanted to export or mount /usr/local using, say, NFS, nothing stops you. /usr/local also has the slight advantage that some packages (like Emacs) know to look for things in particular subdirectories of /usr/local. You also might find packages like 'stow' useful for organizing /usr/local, so you can keep track of what things you have installed locally. At my work, we NFS-mount /usr/local and use Encap (http://www.encap.org/, which is just like stow but different) to manage the installed programs. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
