Alternative Unix Software Installation Methods

,----[ Quote ]
| Finally I would like to mention two other 
| alternative application installers for Linux. 
| Zero Install is a net-based method for running 
| applications on your computer without having 
| to actually install the application itself and 
| Klik is a method of compiling packages into a 
| compressed archive that can later be mounted 
| and run again without any installation.
| 
| Know of another piece of (non-package manager) 
| software that enables a distribution neutral, 
| friendly, application installation that I 
| didn't mention here? Drop a comment below so I 
| can check it out!

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.
