Hello,

this discussion reminds me to a funny discussion we had in german Arch 
Linux forum. 

It is about a little tool and ends in the following Upstream recommendation:

"ALERT: Arch Linux users report that /usr/local/bin is NOT in their default 
system path, so they will need to put inxi in /usr/bin instead. "

https://bbs.archlinux.de/viewtopic.php?id=13379
http://techpatterns.com/forums/about1133.html

So the inxi users are expected to have benefit in using inxi's quite 
technical output, but are not expected to be able to alter the system path.

Regards Stefan
