I was a long time Debian user, I switched to Fedora for that reason.

On Fedora, (many thanks to Greg) you have all the latest
frontend/backend software, and tools/bindings you need for building
your own modules and so on. Boring time spent trying to build
xiphos/sword/whateverelse from scratch is history.

I don't have any regrets. IMHO Every serious Crosswire user should run
Fedora.
