There is also a project going on named LSB (Linux Standard Base) project, which has a plan for how to make it easier for both users and developers to install new softwares in Linux...

Last month, key people in the Linux software packaging world and ISVs (independent software vendors) got together in Berlin, Germany to discuss the future of Linux application packaging. The group decided to create a bridge between the various software package installment programs that the Linux distributions support and what the ISVs need to support Linux.

According to Ian Murdock, CTO of the FSG and chair of the LSB, what ISVs want is "to treat Linux as a single platform, which means they want to offer a single package for Linux, much as they do for Windows."
