software installers

[Rainer Gutkas]

Try Synaptic, I guess it will be what you search for. It's installed by 
default with Ubuntu Linux, you'll find it under System Menu.
This tool was the first thing I really loved about linux. In my opinion 
there's no such easy install solution under MacOsX and Windows and I'v e 
used both.
