Same with programs.
I would like to have a /usr/data structure (or /data) where I
store data from ALL apps.
/usr/share already exists for that purpose.
Also, a /usr/myPrograms structure, for programs that I
'manually' (not from the distro) install.
Use /usr/local or /opt
You should read the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard before adding new branches to the directory tree: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
Are you saying that /usr/share and usr/local is meant to cover this scenario?
Thanks
