   oh, you want RPMs :( sorry... i was going to suggest kubuntu... KDE is the   
   default WM in it... i don't (yet) know if the mbse installation has a problem   
   on kubuntu, though... i'm actually looking to run it on a ubuntu server   
   install which means no GUI WM at all...   
      
   i can't say that i've had any problems with .debs... i've actually grown to   
   prefer them over the years... i started on redhat and then moved when they   
   started making their changes... never looked back...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...
