Here's another data point: I've installed 4.2 on SuSE 10.0 and 4.1 on
SuSE 9.2 and Ubuntu (Breezy Badger) with no problems on SuSE and only
minor problems on Ubuntu, which were fixed quickly. My preference is
for SuSE, though after reading Jim McQuillan's take on Ubuntu I think I
won't give up on it.
