> Then again, how many free installers are there for linux?

The two most common are Red Hat's Package Manager (rpm) and 
the GNU apt-get system. But other distros also have install 
systems and so far as I know they are all free. But OTOH 
its also much easier to write a Unix installer since it 
simply involves copying files to some standard places 
and editing some plain text files.

There are some commercial installers that will target 
Windows and Linux from the same basic setup data. 
But I've never used them so can't comment on how 
well they work!
