I think it is related to some standard (something like the Linux File System
Standard), that everybody is going to. I think RedHat uses /usr/share
for man, and Mandrake surely does that, it changed between 7.1 and 7.2
(the 'Big Move'). There are other issues like /opt instead of /usr/local
and so on. But nowadays the most annoyig are the moves from /usr/man to
/usr/share/man, and from /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc. You still found
rpms that put their docs in the old place...
I think all that is to mount /usr/share via NFS and have there all the
'shared' non binary data, instead of mounting man, doc, etc...
