	/usr/bin is where system "standard" files go.  /usr/local/bin is where
host specific fies go.  The rpm way is to put stuff in /usr rather than
/usr/local because they can all be maintained with rpms.  /usr/local is
for stuff you compile yourself; stuff not maintained in the rpm
database.

	Clear as mud?
