Other people have answered your question regarding shortcuts, but I thought I'd mention that if you're installing non-RPM software on to your system, the best place for it to go is /usr/local/bin, not /usr (ideally, /usr/local would be a separate partition too, so that you can do a fresh install of the system, completely discarding the contents of /usr but still keeping /usr/local the way it is). Putting things in /usr runs the risk of them being overwritten by a subsequent installation of an RPM-based package (which almost invariably install into /usr).
