It's almost as if different tools for different tasks and different user access rights, and tools that are loaded at boot time prior to user access permissions being loaded require different file locations.
Boy, it sure is a good thing Windows doesn't do this with
>\Program Files
>\Program Files(x86)
>\Windows\System
>\Windows\System32
etc

This wouldn't be a big deal if software actually followed the FHS and didn't throw itself wherever the fuck it wants to.

why is there a /usr/bin and a usr/local/bin?
Josiah Stewart
/usr/local/bin is for programs that a normal user may run.
The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when installing software locally.
It needs to be safe from being overwritten when the system software is updated.
It may be used for programs and data that are shareable amongst a group of hosts, but not found in /usr.
Locally installed software must be placed within /usr/local rather than /usr unless it is being installed to replace or upgrade software in /usr.

okay Jow Forums, lets see your proposal for a cleaned-up and sanely organized FHS.
Luis Green
pretty much the only time this is true is on *BSD
linux package managers just shove it all into /usr/bin and /bin links to it
Jack Murphy
every program gets it's own directory :)
