I didn't find any typos in Mandrake or Caldera distros that failed to install on my PC or in Redhat distros that had a flaky compiler/glibc environment for everyone's PC, but I'm too picky to use them any more. Fortunately for some of us who are less picky, elx does work rather well. It's also a -pre1 release, so the 1.0 release may be even better. You're probably better off with Debian, where a package isn't good enough to be accepted into stable unless it's been running on every PC architecture (including those that none of us ever plan to use) for a long time. By then, the spelling has also improved most likely. By then, elx may have corrected a few piddling typos come to think of it, and if their responses on the elx forum are any indication, they will have corrected a few more worthwhile things than bledding typos.
