Now is that so? Then why is Mandrake following?
In my mind it makes sense for everything close to a distribution
and/or the kernel. For more independent packages like
KDE/GNOME/Netscape/StarOffice/ApplixWare it doesn't make sense.
And nobody looks for StarOffice or Netscape executables in
/usr/*. Netscape used to install itself in /usr/local IIRC.
Again, if it is *not* a standard then why change the default
location when everybody was used to look at /opt?
