We're just about to take VFX Forth for Linux to Beta stage. 
Coming from the Windows world, I'm fed up with the Linux 
installers! The rpm and deb system is fine for distros and the 
like, but hopelessly inadequate for third party apps. After 
looking at what's available, I'm tempted by AutoPackage and 
ZeroInstall. It appears that ZeroInstall has a Southampton 
connection as the site 
http://0install.net is hosted by 
Southampton University.
Does anyone have any experience with deploying software using 
these packages?
