Like Firefox. You can rebuild that on Linux pretty easily. It's pretty 
much written with portability in mind, though.

But like Eric pointed out, it'd be kinda silly to rebuild that unless you 
had a really good reason, since your distribution already did it for you.


That's really what Linux distributions are for - a convenient way to 
package programs so they all interct well together.
