We're drifting here, but the concept is that machine-local stuff like configuration stays out of /usr, and generic distro stuff stays in /usr. A webserver for site1 vs site2 would be identical in /usr, but different elsewhere. However, that whole approach makes less sense for a distro that prides itself on you being able to make every installation unique. That said, if you do want to make a whole bunch of Gentoo installs the same then sticking everything important in /usr and network mounting it is a good way to accomplish it. Rich
