or maybe he could just release it in a G-Zipped Tarball? :P (pre-compiled of course, if it works for Windows, it can work for linux...). There are resources for making programs in C/C++ that can be compiled on many different platforms/os's with little or no effort (prob just some #define's #ifdef's), the binaries of course won't work from system to system, but it can be compiled system to system. There are programs in on linux that have installers for non OSS after all, such as Star Office.
