You, as the system admin, are encouraged to install into /usr/local. /usr is reserved for your distribution to use. /opt is reserved for third party packages (although your distribution might use them too). Or you could use it. /usr/local is definitely reserved for you to install things directly from source code. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB
