Posted by Zonk on from the penguin-friendly-game-updates-made-easy dept.

Ricardo Wagemaker writes "GccInstaller is a automatic games installation software created to facilitated the installation of games on JDS Linux. Although still in development, with GccInstaller it will be easier to install games than it is to play them. Every time GccInstaller is launched it will check for a update and show you what the current version is, as well as a list of games available to Gccinstaller. Just select install and it will download patches to a temp area and install them on your local system."

    IzPack is a GPL java-based installer system that exists in a stable and feature-rich state for your use today. I use it as my installer system, and it works great. It is still under active development (judging by the dev mailing list traffic), with new features being worked on.

    Anyway check out IzPack if you need a good cross-platform installer.
