I don't know, but I switched to the Debian distribution because I wanted to 
have Bibletime and Gnomesword working on my computer.  No compiling needed.  

It just works (TM).

I was using Fedora Core 2 at the time, another RPM based distribution.  I had 
it all working under Fedora Core 1, but the upgrade broke something...  

Having the Bible on my computer is very important to me.  When I found out 
that I could install it with a couple of mouse clicks under Debian, that was 
all I needed to know!
