Welcome to Unix
Authored by: suberjc on Nov 04, '02 08:19:39AM

As an anal Unix administrator I should tell you not to look for any well written
Unix app to ask you where you want to put it. Unix user applications go in
/usr/local/bin.

Now in Windows you could put in c:\windows\system32 If that's what you wanted to do. But Unix,BSD,Linux are all REAL operating systems whith their own sense of where things should go.

Enjoy.
