I even did not kwow the linuxwoodoo project and the page does not seem to work
well on my FF 3.5 (most pages appear to be empty...). But it looks like this
"wpkg" on linuxwoodoo seems to target Linux setup and handle multiple package
managers while wpkg.org (this project) targets Windows users and Windows
software deployment.

However wpkg.org software could entirely be _hosted_ on Linux it does not help
you to deploy software to Linux systems.

Rainer
