Linux Install
First, let me say <oXygen/> is just the tool I was looking for to help me learn XML document development. I'm still on the trial license but I intend to change that soon.
I installed on Linux (SuSe 9.1 Pro). My Lunux install (oxygen.bin) was to /usr/local/bin as root. I selected that location because it is in the PATH for my normal user accounts (I have two accounts that I use commonly). My question is: should I have installed <oXygen/> in my normal user's bin? What directory is the recommended location of the <oXygen/> application files on Linux? I shouldn't have to install in each users bin directory - right?

The way you installed <oXygen/> in the /usr/local/bin is correct.
Installing it in the user home directory is an option when the user who makes the install has no root rights.
In fact the install directory has little importance. The editor stores the preferences in the com.oxygenxml directory in the user home, where it has for sure write rights, not in the install directory.
