David,
Fair enough - thanks for the scouting report. �I hope you are wrong about separate binaries. �It would be sad enough if we had to detect the distro and act accordingly :( � A candidate for that is Ubuntu's integration of dynamic library loading with dlconfig. �I think they have a good idea, but Cog goes to pieces trying to decorate the library name, when the module name as given is the place to look first. �I would like to see other distros implement the Ubuntu solution, because it *really* makes sense.
To make things even more complicated, I'm actually playing with Fedora since it's going to be the default OS for the Raspberry Pi. �I'm really hoping someone picks up the GSOC CogVM Arm project, but I intend to help with this effort regardless. �As an aside, I've been playing with Squeak 4.2 on the BeagleBone (headless ARM board running Angstrom linux), which compiles and runs without issue. �It's really fun to read sensors and blink LEDs from smalltalk, and now a smalltalk powered robot is slowly taking shape in my workshop. :)
What do you think of Gnome 3? �Any recommendations to escape it (I'm not a fan). �Unity is the sole reason I'm looking at other distros - given Gnome 2, I'd be an Ubuntu guy in perpetuity.
Have you tried Linux Mint?
