The application I'm stuck on is amsn. Where do I put it? At first I thought I could just put the msn directory in /usr/local. Then I thought well shouldn't the dir go in /usr/local/bin but then dirs don't go in there do they? Should a file go in /usr/local/bin and then the dir go in /usr/local/lib? Help!! Oh and yeh I realise I could put it almost anywhere I felt like and run it but then that isn't going by the filesystem standard is it

We have a FAQ about the architecture here on this board. Here we go:

Putting the 'msn' dir into /usr/local is just perfect. And then make a symlink to the 'amsn' executable in /usr/bin so that you can launch it from the command line.

 

Personnaly I put it in my $HOME directory. Well, this is Linux so you can do pretty much whatever you want with YOUR system :P
