Folks... I think it's time for a serious reality-check here. I don't think we're ever going to come to anything even *remotely* resembling a concensus to change this, so I might respectfully suggest that we simply kill the subject thread. /opt? Never. /local? You gotta be kidding me. /usr/opt? Not on your life. See? I already hate the counter-proposals discussed so far myself, and I'm hardly alone - there are many others here who would consider me a real wimp for using such tame responses as "never" and "not on your life" when they feel that "you've got to be f***ing kidding me! No way in *hell*, man!" would be closer to the proper response to these proposals so far. :-) /usr/local sucks too, sure, but at least we're used to it and people have long experience now in administering that location. Nothing but a painful and extended flame war would result from an actual change here, and we'd be complete idiots to voluntarily provoke such an outcome, so I really don't see the point in all this discussion about it. Jordan
