Zero Install Injector - Install software easily and without root privileges
,----[ Quote ]
| The Zero Install Injector makes it easy for
| users to install software without needing root
| privileges. It takes the URL of a program and
| runs it (downloading it first if necessary).
| Any dependencies of the program are fetched in
| the same way. The user controls which version
| of the program and its dependencies to use.

Ubuntu to make Linux application installation idiot proof
,----[ Quote ]
| There's really nothing that hard about installing programs on Linux. Anyone
| who still uses shell commands like say, "apt-get install
| some-program-or-the-other," is doing so because they want to do it that way,
| not because they have to. Programs like Debian and Ubuntu's Synaptic,
| Fedora's yum or openSUSE's YaST makes installing programs little more than a
| matter of point and click. Still, some people have trouble, so Ubuntu is
| reviving a dusty, old project, AppCenter so that anyone can install Linux
| programs.

Better Linux Package Management with Checkinstall
,----[ Quote ]
| If you use Linux in any depth, youâre
| eventually have to install a program from
| source code. Normally the process is pretty
| quick and painless, but it still has some
| drawbacks, especially when it comes to
| upgrading or uninstalling that program. To
| help resolve this, weâve got checkinstall,
| a useful tool that adds some cleverness to
| the process by keeping track of file
| changes and generating binary packages from
| your tarballs. With checkinstall, you can
| generate a RPM, deb, or Slackware package
| that can be ported between systems for easy
| install and removal.
