My understanding is that /usr/local is a local version of /usr file system, whereas /opt is place holder for misc stuff.

comment Simple, user-friendly GUI file finder?
Did you try the command line tool locate? The only downside is having to run updatedb quite often to keep it up to date. But that can be worked around using cron.

Did you try grepping after copying the test file from one of the machine where you did not have this problem? By the way how was the file created? maybe it may have something to do with utf ?!?

comment What functionality do I lose by disabling GDM/KDM/SLIM/CDM etc display managers?
I did it for exactly the same reason :) GUIs are bad if you want to become better in CLI. But there are some window managers like awesome (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awesome_%28window_manager%29), which are more command line centric.
