I've not spent enough time on the problem to really understand why it
won't compile.  I did hear of a guy who was able to build the LBE
on a Suse system with a 2.6 kernel, but i've not had the chance to
figure out how he did it.

We're using the sourceforge version of the patch.

As for working with NFS, I believe that's why we are using samba and
smbmount for accessing the workstation resources from the server.

I'm using Debian myself, and I really do have an interest in getting it
all to build on Deb.  Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I'll get
some time to play with it.
