I've seen apps installed in sbin, and /home/username when from my perspective, they should have been in bin. While I haven't used a lot of different distros (slackware, RH (prior to their business model change), and commercial Unix distros by att, sun, dec, HP), I've never run into 'sudo'...I can understand the security argument for this, but don't necessarily agree with the approach. Anyway. its more of a 'Why do they do this' as a general question as opposed to a specific configuration. Guess I should take this question to the Debian forum....
