Re: Re: Debian BSD.. cool idea
It isn't a bad thing. But the UNIX way always has been put the
software that is part of the base OS's into /usr, and software installed
over it into /usr/local.
Considering with Debian you have a hodepodge of packages from different
vendors, the logical solution to keep with unix tradition would be have
everything installed with the /minimal/ install of debian go into /usr
and everything else go into /usr/local

:That's an odd statement to make, given that Debian has a pretty good

:support is often in conjunction with the authors of that software --
