Then could you please show me a way to share /usr/bin over nfs? I see the need to install, the idea in /usr/share is that it should be possible to share it beween several hosts (saving some disk space) that's just not possible eighter with the current "strong" packaging system. > >> If we wanted to do things the FreeBSD way, we'd use FreeBSD. > > That doesn't stop Debian from using FreeBSD as inspiration. > No, but it should always be remembered before people get overzealous and > forget what makes Debian Debian. Is a unflexible /usr/bin with over 1500 binaried one of the things that makes Debian debian, I peronally think more of it as the development process, the tools dpkg, apt, and not as /usr/bin /usr/bin or /usr/extra/bin is not a that big difference. It will not change whats debian in it. There are now a distinktion between packeges (local, Required, Important, Standard, Optional and Extra) at leas in my packet kind of view on Debian. More flexability could be good if it was used in a sencible maner. / Balp
