Perhaps I need a little educating. What is the reason that putting KDE in /opt makes life any easier? There's /usr, /usr/local, and /opt, and it seems like everyone picks one and sticks with it, but I don't immediately see the reason that /opt is any better than /usr. Perhaps I missed it because I didn't read the FHS or LSB very well. Is /opt the place for precompiled software and /usr the place for roll-yer-own? That sounds a lot like the difference between /usr and /usr/local. Could you explain further?
