Thanks for your reply. I will look at the information.
One question, does debian (ubuntu) have built-scripts with which you can 
build the package from source? RedHat (.rpm) has such a tool but ut 
often is problematic as the source packages have their own ideas about 
these scripts.
If you use a 64-bit processor you 're familiar with the problems with 
Adobe (a company that refuses to recompile it's tools for other 
architectures than 32-bit x86).
