Using rpm would come the closest to Installshield-like functionality under Linux. RedHat has had a graphical rpm package manager for a loooong time already. That said, I think rpm violates the minimalist principle of Linux by putting too many layers of cruft on top of things. I find Slackware's tarball format to be the best balance between ease of use and access to internals (translates to ease of _fixing_ and _tweaking_). _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
