Linux has RPMs, HP has Depots, FreeBSD has Packages what ever you call them, installation bundles are a great help when you need to install open source or third party software onto a machine. I needed to install Apache, Tomcat and Java on to an HP-UX 11.11 machine remotely. Rather than having to deal with a ll the complexities of software interaction, program compilation (which can be a real pain on HP-UX) and installation, all I needed to do was access the Software porting center for HP and grab one bundle. Nice and Easy!
