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).
Thank you all;
