Looks like the mods changed the title I gave. Just for those that don't know, "n" is a version manager for Node.JS that some use to handle multiple copies of Node.JS on their system.

Your original title was slightly linkbaity. I approve of the mod's change for clarity.

They were probably right to do it. But it would have been useful to keep the reference to Node.JS in there as not everyone knows what "n" is.

I read it as:

"Running and stable with no bin, lib, share, include directories in /usr/local".

Which didn't seem all that exciting to me, so I clicked just to see what all the excitement was with not having a /usr/local.

PS. "n" is a terrible name for a program - it's impossible to google.

I was hopelessly confused by the title. It may have made the title not linkbait, but it definitely muddled things.
