Why usr/bin instead of usr/local/bin?

  What's the difference here? I would think /usr/bin would have the advantage of being available system-wide rather than on just one account, but I'm not terribly unix-smart. Enlighten me?

      That was incredibly eye opening, I never realized that where you placed something could actually be important. Thanks for the link, have some karma! :)
