As far as I know, Ubuntu is the only distribution where you can click on 
 a package in Firefox, click OK, click Install, type in your password 
and have everything installed perfectly. Thus this is the only package 
that we directly linked to. I am not saying that installing on other 
distros is not as easy, its just that I (and most if not all of the 
Jokosher dev team) use Ubuntu and only Ubuntu and so I wouldn't know how 
to do it elsewhere.

If you or anyone else would like the be in charge of making it easy to 
install on your distro, send an official sounding set of instructions 
suitable for the jokosher.org/download page as well the link(s) to the 
package(s) to the mailing list, and we'll see that it gets put on the site.
