Maybe you can help.  While MC was born on UNIX, I'm pretty sure no one's 
done anything to make it any smoother in specific Linux flavors.  But 
it's an open source project now and maybe you could spare a moment to 
help the dozen or so of us who maintain it become familiar with what's 
needed.

The project is maintained through the MetaCard list:

Hope to see you there -
