title: Linux beginner, Where to put boost libraries?
body: <p>I'm not extremely familiar with the linux filesystem, having moved from windows, but I do have a decent amount of experience with C++ and the Boost libraries in windows.  Having switched Fedora 17, can anyone tell me if there is a certain directory where I should install Boost to get it working the gnu compiler? </p>
  
  <p>Note: if it matters, I don't use an IDE I use vim for most of my programming.</p>
