software written on or for a linux system. most GNU software, for instance. not ports, generally (OpenSSH is one that likes /opt...), but in my experience (very little, admittedly) i have rarely seen a program look for or even try to install into /opt when i compile. > I agree, it's nice that optional add-ons don't mingle with the base > files.
