For me it was simply a matter of getting Bibletime/Gnomesword installed.  I 
had various compile errors with Fedora Core 2.  While I was setting up some 
older computers to run Debian Stable I found that installing Bibletime was a 
snap with Debian.  So I made the switch to Debian Sarge for my desktop system 
of choice.  And then because of curiosity, I installed SuSE on my laptop 
which also had Fedora Core 2 on it.
