The Windows Program Files directory contains a subdirectory for each installed application, which contains all of the executables, dlls, data files, and everything else needed by / shipped with the application. | |

| Sep 11, 2011 at 18:10 | comment | added | Maja Piechotka | @Toxicbits: At least on Gentoo in /opt there are binary packages - especially those which cannot be installed to /usr due to nonstandard filesystem hierarchy. | |

| Sep 11, 2011 at 13:33 | comment | added | c76c3r8c42b347r8 | Isn't /opt only used for packages that are not contained in the repos? The application folders for inkscape, gimp, rhythmbox etc. are located in /usr/share. Wouldn't that rather be the equivalent? | |
