What _I_ do is keep /usr/local separate on boxen that matter, and non-OS 
(non-distro?) software goes into /usr/local -- most is scripts I write, 
and the odd non-slack package compiled from source, I don't use third 
party SlackBuilds ;)  I trust the source to carry enough bugs...

Should be unpacked and compiled as user (kernel.org kernels), Linus said 
so about 2000, the quote is linked from kernelnewbies.org.  Many still 
argue the kernel tarball has 'wrong' permissions --> these people are 
those who dangerously unpack tarballs as root.  

But I'm not on a campaign to change slackware, I ignore the kernel source 
from slack and do that part 'my' way:
