[19:16] <ChinnoDog> Why isn't there a file system location where I can mount my own software? I want an /opt that isn't managed by packages.
[20:02] <waltman> other than /usr/local?
[20:16] <ChinnoDog> /usr/local already has a bunch of stuff in it. Clearly it also is managed by package managers.
[20:17] <ChinnoDog> Based on what I have read /usr/local is meant for packages only installed on the local machine. If you wanted to network mount a directory for packages to be shared across all workstations it would be /opt, except that since there are directories in there installed by apt packages it wouldn't work in Ubuntu.
