Some large multiuser/multimachine/multiplatform unix sites use /opt for many reasons outside of package management, thus causing a namespace conflict I would love to avoid. We use /opt as a general platform-specific nfs-mount with some random stuff on it. We put most of the non-free software and some free software in /soft with the users using some sort of envrionment management system (Modules 3.1.1). But yeah, in general, /opt is a nice place to start causing really bad namespace collisions. -- Scott Dier <dieman@ringworld.org> http://www.ringworld.org/ the desire for space travel is a metaphor for escape
