Creating Linux installers?

Nope.
Has this changed? If not, is there another great installer out there (like NSIS) that can be used for Linux? What about Solaris?
Thanks!

NSIS is a tool to create Windows installers. You can run the compiler using a emulator or create a Linux port, but you can only create Windows installers. There are so many differences between these platform, especially related to software installation, so you will really need a specific Linux tool.
Do you have a suggestion for an installer to use for Linux and or Solaris?
