Dev talk:2.5/Source/Installation/Unix FHS

This is really great info. You might include a brief statement of what BLI stands for and does.

For blender developers, is usr/local/blender/blender-<version> a reasonable place to put the source code that you will work on?

Since a major concern is crashes by blender, is there any way that we could support something like a crash log...

/var/crash : System crash dumps (optional) Purpose

This directory holds system crash dumps. As of the date of this release of the standard, system crash dumps were not supported under Linux but may be supported by other systems which may comply with the FHS.

I know it says system crash dumps, but I have experienced hangs where the system doesn't respond at all - so blender takes the system down with it.
