OM 5.3 in repository - when?

[Kevin Davidson]

If there are going to be more bodies working on this, is there any  
chance of getting OpenSUSE support?

I keep failing to hand install the required SLES RPMs and have  
resorted to booting with the CentOS live CD occasionally, which is  
awkward for a production server :-/

I'm sure Ubuntu support would be greatly appreciated too (especially  
as Dell ship Ubuntu desktops and laptops, so I can see people wanting  
Ubuntu on the server as well).

I know your work has been greatly appreciated. Good that you're back  
and hopefully not on your own anymore.
