Thanks for saving me much grief!  :-)

Without trying to start a flame war, is there any consensus which
distribution is favoured for development and why?  [I'll download and
burn the rh7.1 and mandrake 7.1 iso images tomorrow and burn a copy
to install and build with.]

I know there is a considerable install base in north america in rh6.2.
Is your intent to eliminate environmental problems with building static
linked binaries?

I am able to run KDE2.1.1 on my rh6.2 box very well... it works a treat.
Is it a desired objective of the development team to address this
market?  Or in other words, is there specific distribution(s) that
BibleTime is primarily directed to?
