Packages for more distributions will soon be coming, now that we have a
dedicated engineer working on this.

Currently the distribution which is likely going to receive most of our
attention is NLD, SUSE 9.2 and the SLES 9 (all SUSE-based) as this is
what we have to support internally for other Novell products.

But as I said, the situation will improve from where we are today.

Miguel.
