My requirements are to offer an oss package on as many platforms as possible. I have builds on Debian, WBEL, Mandrake, FC3, SLES 9 ( and Windows 2000! ) fo far. Considering that those who are interested in things like playing with their own spam filters will probably also be those who will have taken the time to build a kernel from scratch, I'd say that the above statement is potentially a bit incorrect, wouldn't you? AFAICT it is nigh on impossible to install Gentoo from scratch in New Zealand using the instructions on the website. Correct me if I'm wrong. The fact that I'm also installing in vmware has meant that grub doesn't work as written which is really frustrating, but I consider that to be *my* problem.
