Ubuntu should move all binaries to /usr/bin/

[Dan Trevino]

I'm not sure I agree that windows makes it easy to find executables.
They have the same situation with "system" binaries in different
places (/windows, /windows/system, /windows/system32, x64 vs i386 in
different places, etc, etc. and even less justification for those
choices.  Regardless, what windows does or does not do is irrelevant,
as is windows (sry ... couldn't resist).

FHS work is constantly being discussed.  If you feel you can make a
