This is OS dependant, I think. Red Hat will merrily trash any
configs you have in /etc at will, while NetBSD will not touch
files in /etc, period (except to add startup scripts, and even
then it won't automatically have them boot). Solaris always
asks questions, etc.
They all have different definitions of what goes into /usr/local,
too (which pisses me off). /usr/local? /opt? /usr/pkg?
/usr/ports? bah.
And don't get me started on differences in sysinit and The One
Holy Way To Do It.
