I haven't yet figured out what the supposed incompatibility between versions is all about. For most packages I've run, it's either compile straight from source and install, or do a search and find pre-built binaries that'll run on my system (Fedora 3). The only thing I've had problems with so far is fldigi -- simply because I've never built anything with the fl libraries before. Being on a dial-up, it may take me a while to find time to get the libraries and build it up, but it's a matter of download time, not trying to find the libraries.
Between freshrpms, freshmeat, rpmfind and google searches, I've never been unsuccessful in finding libraries. "All those varieties" aren't really all that different from each other. - ps John Bradley wrote: > I rest my case: walt talks about all these different varieties of linux, > RedHat,Mandrake,SuSe, puppy linux and Debian, > all in one sentence.
