Actually it seems surprisingly multi-partite in the OS stakes.   Kimberly, 
maybe time for another poll - count of OS's in use, OS's tested?

Just a quick word of caution/advice/whatever...  on the internal UWA 
technical list a message indicating that a colleague used yum to update 
"several files from the Fedora site" including rpm.  "This killed rpm." so 
he had to do a fresh install as it would not allow him to remove it (the 
updated rpm.)   It's probably the equivalent of installing unstable bits of 
Debian into a stable Debian, but then I've not been tempted to make smoke 
that way, myself :-)

HTH,
