> Not use /opt ? Isn't that what the LSB spec and FHS V2.0 is specifying?
The FHS and LSB don't specify you have to use /opt. They allow /opt to exist but there are good techmnical reasons for not doing so - think about NFS sharing of /usr but not /var and the fact thin client is important (The FHS is probably the right place for that discussion) The naming issue applies regardless
