Freeze vs cx_Freeze

[mathieu]

Hello,

I am currently investigating how to distribute a python based
application on a targeted linux system (debian) and so far I only
found two options:
- Freeze (shipped with python dist)
- cx_Freeze (*)

As far as I understand those two options are very close. According to
the cx_Freeze README cx_Freeze is simply easier to use (no dependencie
of gcc, faster to create binaries) and it is cross-platform (no
interest for me in this case).

Anything else ?

thanks,
-MM
