I think it depends on the people involved. As a developer I prefer everything in one place. Our system administrators have to manage lots of machines (hundreds) with lots of software on them (some we write, some third party). Their perspective is that if they want to find a log file it's better for it to be where all the log files are instead of trying to find the corner of the file system where that particular app is installed. This appears to be the preference of most unix admins (as evidenced by the various linux/unix standardization processes). -- Benji York http://benjiyork.com _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list Web-SIG@python.org Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
