There is no reason why this couldn't be wrapped up into a 'double click'
fashion using either debs/rpms or 'autopackage'.

Compare the installation instructions between windows and linux:
http://www.octoshape.com/plugin/get.asp
http://www.octoshape.com/plugin/linux.asp

This isn't linux's fault - it's octoshape's.  The only differences is
that they have 'packaged' the windows to make it easily installable.

Can't complain too much, as at least they have bothered to make it
multi-platformed.

Maybe next year Octoshape's plug-in will be in a repository - then it
will be easier to install than any other OS. :)

Kind Regards,
Dave Walker
