I am specialised in Linux and can install from source, or even rebuild binary pkgs from source, so you can install them more easily later any time you like on other systems. Please let me know the relevant linux distro and names of the pkgs.
I have compiled and fixed bugs in many packages for Linux and Solaris. I've also packaged software for RedHat, Debian and Solaris systems, and contributed software packages to Fedora. So there shouldn't be any problems. Thank you.
