Another thing I've found helpful is to make a ~/bin-local which contains
symlinks to specific versions of a few programs. Having ~/bin-local near the
front of $PATH can give you per-program tuning of what you run.
(For me, it's "bin-local" because ~/bin is an exact copy of ~/bin from my
main machine, wherever I work. So the per-machine custom stuff goes in
~/bin-local.)
