You didn't give any specific info what software you are trying to install.

still try this --> *help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/applications.html

FOr rpm distro : rpfind.net.. Rpm distro comes with Add Remove. .Open SUSE -> Yast , Mandriva -> URPMI, Fedora ->

,deb Based Distro -> Synaptic in nearly all of 'em.

Just type the name of the s/w in The adove Add/remove Programs and install them

Apart from that you can try Click N Run. Also the best way is to compile..

./configure
make 
make install

Search this section, there was a post probably by Satish S on how to install softwares for major distros and compiling from source.

Is it only me who finds the current thread and *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94937 contradictory?
