Thanks for the link, I'll make sure I keep it.  I have seen this 
document before, but there were two confusing things about it:

1) The descriptions are descriptive, but sometimes I feel some software, 
binary, library, etc. could fall into two categories.
2) Everyone seems to be interpreting FHS their own way, or just not 
following it.

Some other things:

I have a /usr/opt on my machine, does anyone else have this too?

For me the OpenOffice binary is under /usr/lib of all places.

I recall reading something about UNIX a while back about things like 
/bin really being links to things in /usr like /usr/bin.  Does that 
sound familiar to anyone?
