Those versions are supposed to be 'universal' not link to a specific distribution. They aim to provides TeXmacs for distributions which don't have it and also to give opportunity to have a newer version without recompiling. Else this versions could have some side effects like François noticed it.
I didn't fully test but I would say 'old' is before kernel 2.6. We targeted distributions that are 10 years old. > Any hints about what old and new linux means in this context?
