Hi.


Fred, thanks a lot for your Linux OBS work: it is also useful as a build 
test.

Well... "debian and derivatives" are not "bad". They are an excellent 
environment where to build GNUstep packages out of the box, everything 
provided is of good quality. Only the official debian packages are not 
to be used to showcase us (incompleteness, oldness and weird configuration).
GNUstep builds on RaspbianARM (debian derivative) very smoothly and I 
use GNUstep on PPC with Debian. The same goes for Ubuntu on x86. All 
dependencies provided, then you need do configure and build and all is 
smooth.

we are now going more into the marketing and wishlist direction of 
discussion...
