- Boo! Hiss!

- And when you upgrade /usr/bin gets clobbered by the new
- operating system. I reserve /usr/bin for what comes from
- the vendor. Helps me keep track of who to Froth at when
- things break... <wry grin>
-
- However /usr/local/bin is great for this purpose. For me
- this is almost always a link pointing to a directory on an
- NFS mounted disk. Keeping all the stuff I've accumulated
- on one disk helps. (This same disk has the /LocalApps
- /LocalLibrary /Demos etc) This means I can back up all the
- local stuff I've got working by backing up a single disk.
