Software Installation

Posted February 19th, 2007 in Linux by ryan

Here’s another comparison between Linux and Windows – Installing Software.

With Windows, you typically download a software package that has a graphical installer.  You click next a few times and installs.  I thought this was smooth and easy.

Now all day yesterday while installing software on Ubuntu, I was using apt-get.  Holy cow!  apt-get absolutely rocks!  With one command I can have it find, download, and install software.  Windows really needs an apt-get type of application.
