Your comment is incorrect and illogical.


Every UNIX or Linux system on and off the planet has the capability to have a directory called /usr/local.

Where you put your distribution is up to you. That's the beauty of open source, you can do what you like.

If you are using a specific package distribution such as a RPM, then the RPM will put the files where they need to go and your question is moot.

The different locations make it difficult to understand systems other people have set up. And that wastes time.

This obviously is a general problem of Linux.

I don't think there is an official recommendation. I put anything unrelated to the official OS distribution under /usr/local, but that's me.

This sets CATALINA_HOME correctly according to the current installation of tomcat4 under /var/tomcat4 (whose correctness according to FHS I am not
yet convinced of).



What's the official recommendation?

The RedHat rpm, which BTW is not marked as RedHat in jakarta download area, installs in /var/tomcat4. UnitedLinux 1.0 installs in /opt/jakarta/tomcat. I thought it would be a good idea to install in /usr/java/tomcat.
