Hi all, 

This is a basic question but I've been wondering for
quite a while, so I'll just fire it away in this list.

When I install third party software, say the apache
server or jdk etc..., where should I install them? 
Some book say, if I remember correctly, all
system-wide programs should be installed under
/usr/local.  But some people tell me that install them
in wherever it has the most HD space.  What is the
convention used in the real-life?  I'm confused.  Any
of your opinions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
kero
