Please try Klik, Autopackage, and GoboLinux. Let us know what you like/dislike about them. http://klik.atekon.de/ http://www.autopackage.org/ http://www.gobolinux.org/ In fact, an evaluation of these different systems would be great material for a PLUG presentation. I am not the right person to evaluate any of these because I've decided that installing from source is usually the best option for me. However, I've also decided that installing from source is *not* the right option for most other people.
