i mentioned about offline packages. Like in Windows we have EXE based installer which we can download in a cyber cafe, bring to our home & install

In case of Mac we have .dmg, same procedure as above

In case of Slax linux, we have .mo

so why are there so many packages, all in compatible with each other. I do remember that I asked u once to install GAIM 2 b6 & I was said to compile it on Slax\Ubuntu...I am an average joe of linux, & I would prefer a application which automatically compiles insted of learning 1000 commands to compile it
