GNU IceCat is packaged in a number of distros and/or package managers, including Trisquel and GNU Guix. The Trisquel package is currently very much out of date; but the Guix package is up-to-date, only a few commits behind the latest commit on the 68 branch of our gnuzilla.git repository. Feel free to file a request on the bug tracker of your favourite GNU/Linux distribution, asking them to package GNU IceCat. We would be happy to work with the package maintainers looking to package GNU IceCat for their distro, helping answers any questions or requests they may have if they get in touch with us on our mailing lists. :-) Hope this helps. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature;

which are maintained by that distro and generally usable only with that package manager - in this context, "linux" is but one package among thousands - it is usually moot helpful to refer to your operating system by it's formal name, such as arch, debian, ubuntu, fedora, suse, etc most of the FSF-approved distros have icecat already; so the simplest solution, is to use one of the FSF-approved distros, instead of the one you are using now - for other distros, it is upon users to request to their distro maintainers, that icecat be packaged - in the case of the mint->ubuntu->debian strain, there is a packaging request open for several years; but it has yet to be accepted into debian - AFAIK, fedora is the only distro which is not FSF-approved, which has an icecat package for their users
