title: Linux: where to install/unpack programs manually
body: <p>Where to unpack programs in <strong>Linux</strong> e.g. Tomcat binary? </p>
  
  <p>Is there a common location as in Windows, i.e. <strong>Program Files</strong>...
  which won't be overwritten during Linux upgrade.</p>
  
  <p>Is it a good approach to unpack it in, let's say: <strong>/home/user/PRG</strong> location. 
  Thanx!</p>
