SRUN is now called RUNZ and is heading towards a final release

Portable Google Earth Linux

SRUN has been renamed to “RUNZ”.

But what is runz?
RUNZ is trying to be an easier way to use applications on Linux. It’s something like a wrapper/container for programs/applications/executables/scripts. It allows users to just double click a file and open it, without the need to mark the file as executable and other stuff like that. Some of it’s uses are Portable Applications and super-deb installers (program + dependencies in a nice installer).

Files in RUNZ format use the .runz extension, and you need to install the RUNZ framework (now available for Debian, Ubuntu and Super OS) to be able to run them. This is still considered in “beta”, however, I find it very stable. Please check out the known issues and report any bugs you might find

Get the RUNZ framework at: hacktolive.org/runz

UPDATE: The RUNZ Framework is now available as an installer for most (recent!) distros
