Anyone can distribute software If you have a web-site, you can distribute your software;
 Create one package that works everywhere;
 With dependency handling and automatic updates;
 There is no central point of control





 
Security is central Installing a word-processor doesn't grant it administrator access;
 Digital signatures are always checked before new software is run;
 Users share libraries without having to trust each other;
 Use with sandboxes and virtualisation is easy




 
You control your own computer  You don't have to guess what happens during installation;
 Mix and match stable and experimental programs on a single system
