I'm still for using tgz.

If you follow the tradition of /bin and /usr/bin for everything that is needed
at boottime, and the newer scheme of /opt for just about everything else then
all the existing tools work.  

Want to see if an app is installed ??  ls /opt/ | grep <appname>, 
find /opt -type d -name bin -print will give you all the application binaries. 

Show me a better system.
