Hi Andre,

Very interessant synthese. Thanks. It seems it would be a good idea to  
be back to Suse (i used it from the 5.3 to 9.2 distros, in the past,  
at the time it was the most usable on the different platforms i had to  
do with, Yast behind... :-). Never had only one problem to run MC nor  
Rev on my Suse configs ;-)

Kind Regards,

Pierre
