Debian for sure. Rather than RedHat, I'd like our RPMs to be applicable
to all RPM-based distros (which is why I've been pushing FHS
compliance). Slackware is sort of the odd man out in this group--we've
included it for completeness's sake, but I wonder how much these
packages will actually get used. Still, if making them isn't a big
added effort we ought to do so. As you say, we need to pick targets and
get testers to test our packages against them.

Or WindowMaker or IceWM, as both of those are in use in schools without
KDE or GNOME on top of them. I think we should look at how Mandrake
does it's menus, as they seem to configure the KDE, GNOME, and (at the
least) WindowMaker menus similarly.

Those all sound OK, although I'd add Mandrake 9.0 and SuSE 8.1 to the
RPM test systems for completeness's sake. And of course, if anyone
wants to test against other systems feel free to! It'd be nice to hear
that what we do runs on ELX, Alt, Connectiva, etc.
