I have a single FreeBSD machine in an ocean of NetBSD and Linux so every now and then I'll install something without stopping to recall that I'm on the FreeBSD machine. It hurts every time to undo the installation, especially when what was installed collided with an installed port. Maybe I should write a make wrapper that detects whether I'm in /usr/local and goes Abort, Retry, Ignore?...
