more naive questions

["Lawrence L. Crisp" <Lawrence.L.Crisp-1@tc.umn.edu>]

I have three fairly simple questions I hope someone can answer for me:


First, is there anyplace in particular I should put new, compiled programs? 
 I know it needs to be in the path, and typically in a "bin" directory, but 
there are several bin directorys.  Is there one that's better for user 
added programs?

Second, after I have compiled the program and moved the executable, is 
there any good reason to keep the installation files?  (the Makefile, *.h, 
*.c, etc)  I'd like to keep my disk space organized, and it fills up quick 
if I keep them.  Is there any reason I can't just back up the .tar.gz files 
and delete the rest?

Lastly, can anyone help me figure out how to map-to/mount a drive on a 
different computer on the same local network?


Thanks,
