I'm not following what you mean. When you say 'filesystem' do you mean 
ext2/ext3/jfs/etc, or the distribution? Filesystems are not an issue - 
No big deal to copy it from ext2 to jfs.

That is completly impractical. You *can* install stuff in their own 
directory (/usr/local/blah), but since I'll probably be using Debian, 
it'll be cleanly handled as packages.
