anything can be made globally shareable, eg:
mount master:/etc /mnt/master
diff /mnt/master/passwd /etc/passwd
-- if there is a difference... you better know why there is an
-- an extra account in that local pc
most user compiled apps gets loaded ( make install'd ) into /usr/local/
unless you tweek the install directory
some apps, uses /opt/kde for its install instead of /usr/local
/opt does all kinds of whacky stuff
/usr/local is reserved by "me" for anything i do "make install"
on any and all machines and /usr/local is NOT backedup as it too
is already cloned(installed) on gazillion other boxes
only /opt is backed up and /etc
- all other dirs are erasable and i wont care as its source
is already backed up on cd and on numerous websites
i move /home and /var/www to /opt/home and /opt/www
-- anything a user adds/deletes/changes is in /opt
