Nice writeup! :-)
One thing -- about tweaking the PATH variable -- I find it useful to have a
little script for this, /etc/profile.d/opt.sh :
for d in /opt/*/bin; do
test -d "$d" || continue
case :$PATH:$ in
*:"$d":*);;
*) PATH=${PATH:+$PATH:}$d;;
esac
done
Should be generally POSIX-compatible, not just working with bash or Linux.
N.B. I can't take credit for this. I'd written a simpler version which didn't
check if a directory was already in the PATH; some nice person on the Ubuntu
Forums suggested the above as an alternative.
