Tell me, what's the default install path on linux, if there even is an
installer?

I know personally when I use a new viewer I do this:
wget http://whatever
gunzip whatever.tar.gz
tar xvf whatever.tar
cd ~/whatever
./whatever

or:
svn co http://whatever
cd whatever
cd indra
python develop.py build
cd viewer-linux-i686-relwithdebinfo/newview/packaged
./whatever

So that the full path will be /home/gareth/whatever or
/home/gareth/whatever/viewer-linux-i686-relwithdebinfo/newview/packaged

If I wanted to be anonymous in-world (and usually I don't, i'm quite
open even when i'm doing all kinds of sexy fetish stuff - but some
people do value keeping their real name private), leaking the
"/home/gareth" part would be a huge problem.
