I recently tried FC6 and Mandriva 2007.  After much fumbling (= hacking 
the ignoramus way) I got WP8.1 to run on FC6.  If I had a reason to 
abandon what I am using for an RPM, this one seems to be usable to me.

I am at this moment installing FreeBSD 6.2 on a lab rat.  I may be able 
to say "a pox on both your houses" eventually.
