Absolutely, but then you wouldn't install things there using the distro's
package manager.  And there are all sorts of weird things you have to 
deal with for web servers, anyway.  This is basically an attempt to get
euphoria in line with the standard way of doing things--on Linux, for
now, but it'd also be cool to integrate with ports (?) eventually.
