Coming from a linux background (gentoo distro), I find it strange to find all sorts of crap in /usr/local/bin. I'm used to find all standard software in /usr/bin (or certain binary packages in /opt) and to find /usr/local/bin reserved for stuff added by the local administrator. 1. What's the rationale behind this for freebsd? 2. Where does one (as a standard) put truly local scripts, etc. so it won't get confused with all the stuff in /usr/local/bin?
