    The Zero Install system

    Have you ever tried "The Zero Install system"?

    http://zero-install.sourceforge.net/index.html

    Code:
    Anyone can install software
        You don't have to be root just to install a word-processor.
    Anyone can distribute software
        You don't need to be blessed by a distribution (or anyone else) to be part of Zero Install.
    It doesn't matter whether software is installed or not
        You just run it. Zero Install handles the rest (downloading and caching as needed).
    Downloads are shared
        If one user installs a 20 Mb application, another user can run it without downloading it again.
    Users don't need to trust each other
        If one user downloads a malicious program, other users aren't affected.
    Here's an example: http://zero-install.sourceforge.net/...html#id2415707

    Probably a good reason for testing really.

    Sounds like it's doing a Bittorent type of thing.

    Auto .... nice idea, but .....

    Surrendering root privileges deserves some scrutiny.
