Hi all, This is a basic question but I've been wondering for quite a while, so I'll just fire it away in this list. When I install third party software, say the apache server or jdk etc..., where should I install them? Some book say, if I remember correctly, all system-wide programs should be installed under /usr/local. But some people tell me that install them in wherever it has the most HD space. What is the convention used in the real-life? I'm confused. Any of your opinions are appreciated. Thanks in advance, kero __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
