Create an .rpm and .deb for Linux Client

[Daniel Gibbs]

Please can you create a .deb and .rpm installers for the Linux client. Would make super easy for people to install. It would be as simple as this...

wget http://example.com/pcmonitor.deb

dpkg -i pcmonitor.deb

/etc/init.d/pcmonitor start

My boss, who is basically our Linux guy, considers anything not available in RPM to be a beta. I think my company would like to add their support for this request. =)

Really? Well there are millions of apps on sourceforge.net that are not bundled into a rpm or a deb but are mature applications being used by thousands of users. I don't see the point of having a .deb when the application requires some installation steps to be completed by the end user.

In my opinion the current installation system is more than enough.
