Thanks David. I just checked OpenSuse which I've got installed on a different machine. For OpenSuse, "/bin", "/opt" and "/usr/bin" are not accessible to me as a mere user. However, "/usr/local/bin" is fully accessible to everyone. As with 64studio, /bin and /usr/bin seem mostly to contain OS related apps whereas /usr/local/bin seems to contain stuff that I've installed using automake. Two distros is still only a small sample though....
