This sounds good. Does it install the GNUstep sources so I can just 
'cvs update' those to update to the most recent cvs version and 
recompile? This is something I would like. 


Unfortunately, as a GNUstep newbie, I do not know about which systems 
support GNUstep with packages and which require more work to get it 
going. 


In contrast to the others contributed to this thread, I have no 
particular preference for an open source *nix. I just want one that 
runs on my hardware and that GNUstep best and is easy to install and 
set up. 


What do you guys recommend for an oldish PCI PowerMac (with a G3 
upgrade card)? I once had a YellowDog Linux on it but that was really 
bad (starting with no german Keyboard support).
