I'd recommend you to build custom {rpm,deb,...} packages out of your
tarball and install these using the package native type.
This has the advantage of easy upgrades, post/pre-install and -remove
scripts (provided your packaging system supports these) and will save
you fileserving headaches.
You will have to setup a custom package repository though, but this
can come in handy anyway.
Good luck,
Pieter
