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/



You are correct that I need to adhere to standards.However, my situation is that I logon with multiple id's to this machine (different security roles/rights) and I want the same set data for almost all of my programs. Same with programs.
Are you saying that /usr/share and usr/local is meant to cover this scenario?

Precisely. /usr/share is there to share data among users. /usr/local is for locally-installed programs, etc. (don't expect to find the same /usr/local stuff on all systems). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Never test for an error condition you don't know how to handle. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
