This is not the most deeply probing question, but is /usr/sw simply your personal preference or is there a good reason for avoiding the more traditional name /usr/local ? (I am curious because I just started installing a few programs and have been putting them in /usr/local).
Stick with /usr/local. We just had some confusion at my site over the fact that Sun has started to distribute some open source/free software in /opt/sfw. We decided to make /usr/local a symbolic link to /opt/sfw so that default GNU etc. configurations would get installed in the same place. -- <a href="mailto:<kevin.rodgers@ihs.com>">Kevin Rodgers</a>
