Is there some reason that there is no link to the zip for generic Linux distributions? Suppose a Slackware user were to visit the downloads page (http://dlang.org/download.html). She would only see downloads for other distributions. The zip links are already there for several distros, so I don't see why there isn't a button for "All Linux Distributions".
Weird. They used to be there. Certainly, I'd use the zip archive way before I touched any of the distribution-specific releases, even if I were on one of those distros. It's just so nice and trivial to use the zip archive, and I don't have to worry about where the .rpm or .deb or whatever puts stuff - or whether it even works with the exact release of the distro that I'm using.
I definitely agree that the zip file should be listed. - Jonathan M Davis
