Installing non-Debian applications takes more effort on your part, but it is worth that effort. Installing Debian packages is rarely a problem because the conflicting installed packages are identified through dselect before any damage occurs. They also include the location information where the files should reside. These packages have all the compiled binaries, supporting libraries, and configuration files included in them.

Installing applications is generally a snap either way - especially with automated install scripts that are included with most applications.ДЄs you learned in Chapter 2, you install Debian packages using the dpkg application or the dselect installation tool. Other programs require a complete installation.

Some applications are assembled into a single Debian package by some generous soul somewhere in the world. Regardless of what application you use, you still need to install it on your system. Because of the Internet, browsers are important to all levels of the Linux community. Graphical tools include programs to create or manipulate graphical images and photos. The foreign OS applications include running programs meant for another operating system such as Windows. The applications covered in this chapter fall into one of three categories - foreign operating system (OS) applications, graphical tools, and browsers. However, Open Source programs are available to anyone who can program. Some of these programs cost money, and you only get the binaries. Large companies, such as Sun Microsystems, contribute sophisticated application packages like StarOffice. Besides volunteers, businesses are beginning to join in the effort. These applications range from small utilities for tracking network traffic to large applications with several developers (as with the Gnome desktop environment). Programmers are busily creating more applications every day. There are thousands of applications already available for use with Linux in general - let alone Debian.
