Yup. Thanks to the wonders of X, I can run GUI apps on servers and
have them display on my desktop. Or my OS X laptop. I normally leave a
gkrellm running on most of my servers.

Of course, the problem under discussion isn't restricted to GUI
apps. Anytime I use a third party library, I have to deal with how end
users are going to get it.

I think the post I replied to covered the OS X case - there's an
application bundler available for it already.

I want distributions that will work on all three major BSD variants
and most Linux distrubtions - in particular, anything that uses deb's,
rpm's or emerge. If you want to choose one in particular, try ubuntu
Linux.
