Re: Question regarding getting compiled.

["lists@xxxxxxxxxx" <lists@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Personally I would recommend Ubuntu (as an easy to setup version of 
Debian)  for an easy life.
ipvsadm should compile no problem...
And even better you can just use Horms' Ultramonkey to set up the whole 
thing in one go via apt-get.
Slackware has always worked fine..
Suse always used to I assume it still does
RH is a pain in the backside.

Just my personal opinion of course:-0.
Ps. If you use Ubuntu and want DVD/Flash/Acrobat etc. Google for 'Ubuntu 
Automatix'
