I am not familiar with that distribution.

We don't recommend or deprecate any distribution (not even our own).
There are some Linux distributions whose XEmacs packages have been
tuned for the distribution, and we do not recommend building from our
sources on those systems, because they will not have the same "look
and feel" as those distributed by that vendor.  Currently Mandriva may
fall into this class, although I haven't actually checked that there
is an issue in many months.  (Note: this isn't a bug either way, it's
a difference of opinion about defaults.  And a possible surprise for
those who are adventurous enough to build their own, but not *that*
adventurous.)

Other than that, we simply recommend that users get the most recent
versions possible.  On Linux, Debian, Red Hat, SuSE/Novell, and
Mandriva are all known to keep up with our "stable" releases, and most
also have packages of our "beta test" series.  FreeBSD, NetBSD, and
OpenBSD all have XEmacs ports, but I don't know how fresh they keep
them.  The FreeBSD maintainer is a regular contributor of bug reports
and FreeBSD-related patches, though.  On Mac, both Fink and
DarwinPorts are reasonably up-to-date.  On Windows, the Cygwin
distribution is up-to-date, and they also supply a version of the
"beta test" series.  Cygwin is compiled with GCC.  We also supply a
version of the stable series compiled with Visual C, which is
installed over the net from our web site.

Current versions are 21.4.19 for the "stable" series and 21.5.26 for
the "beta test" series.
