I like /usr/local/*, /var/local/*, /etc/local/*, with what used to go under /usr/local/etc moved to /etc/local, and /usr/local/var/ -> /var/local/. I do this with symlinks on all our clustered machines for ports compatability which makes things a lot easier (except /usr/local/var doesn't seem to be used). > -- > Justin T.
