I am very new with Linux, but I can tell that I am happy with it.
But against its main rival, Windows, one can take an .exe or .msi put it on a USB/CD/DVD and take it everywhere, store it for future use etc.
I want to be able to save programs for future use, mainly to store them somewhere and then take them elsewhere (for example a machine that has no internet connectivity).
From what I see if you want to install something you have to have Firefox and/or apt protocols.
Is there a solution to my problem?
Example: can I download, burn and install from a CD or USB with VLC or Gimp and so on?
You can use Cube. It is a offline package management system (offline apt-get equivalent) that downloads .deb and its dependency packages in any computer with internet connection (You can run it also in your USB Stick) and install it offline in later use. It is portable so no additional installation needed.
