Hi Guys,
How do you generally proceed for your package installations on Linux, for packages that are not part of your distrib's repos?
On my side I am used to install in /opt. But since, I saw this doc on the Internet: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/. Now I am confused: apparently /usr/local would be also a possibility.
What is the difference between both? Any best practices to share?
Thanks
