Linux "Klik is unique among software installation systems for Linux, in that each package installed through klik is self-contained, isolated from the rest of the operating system. Klik isn't a package management system; rather it's an application that lets you download and run software without installing it."

If I'm understanding this right, klik lets you run a single file, that contains everything needed to run the app?

a) Isin't that more or less what OSX does with foo.app?
b) Why don't we have this built into more distros? This would make distributing 3rd party apps (both closed and open) much easier on both ends.
