Best file manager on the planet, that's for sure though.
c'mon Joe.. (from the website) Key Points; * Software is only ever /cached/, not /installed/. Anyone can run any software, and nothing is run as root. * Running a program is done in the same way whether it's cached or not. * Running cached software is as fast as running traditionally-installed software. * Zero Install is both simpler and more secure than traditional packaging systems. * Software can be removed from the cache to free space without affecting the behaviour of the system (it will be recached on demand). How hard could it be ? ok, it requires a small Linux kernel module to provide the /uri/0install directory, but that's probably a piece o cake, for a seasoned, Rox lovin', kernel compilin' cowboy, such as yerself. right ? If this thing works, as advertized, it'll change the world.. unless nobody "gets it". check it out, try it out. spread the word. (when I learn to cook up a kernel, I'm gonn go 2.6, cause Linus said to, and get me some 0install, djp -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
