I see the point for package managers... but wouldn't it be "better" or speed adoption if the packages self-managed and then is no reason to have the .deb vs. .rpm vs. ect... normal users dont want to remember how to un-tar... windows and mac make it simple... click here to install... drag to the applications folder... maybe im crazy -REB On Sat, Dec 5, 2009 at 5:59 AM, Robin Wood <dninja at gmail.com> wrote:

Write rolled up install scripts... like the installer for VMwarePlayer...One .sh file that has all the needed elements rolled up in it uuencoded directly in the script... I know *nix users like to "have control" but doesn't it make sense??> oramI off base... Sanity Check??Isn't that what distributions and their package managers are for?
