What may trouble you more is the fact that you will begin expecting,
even demanding that other operating systems behave in a similar way
should you continue to wrap your head around a UNIX-like operating
system :)
If you edit /home/norman/.bashrc , you can add /home/norman/usr/bin
and /home/norman/usr/local/bin (a lot of programs by default want to
install themselves in {prefix}/usr/local, unless you specify --bindir
when configuring) to your path so that the stuff you install in your own
corner of the system takes precedence over the host versions.
Glad you got it sorted.
Cheers,
