On Microsoft Windows they have<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.exe or<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.msi and it works for everybody. And the kickass NSIS installer.
On Linux slackware have<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.tgz, redhat<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.rpm, debian<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.deb, that sucks that there is so many different and incompatible across distributions.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:(
Also why Linux cant have a LinuxUpdate website like WindowsUpdate. And when you goto it, it checks what software and version you have on your system, then presents a list of newer avaible software and allows you to download and install them?
Learn about Linux
Download Linux
Get Linux help
Package management sucks
