Pardon the late reply, I'm still in the middle of rearranging the 
computers in the shack.

Some hamradio apps are not frequently updated or some like grig seems to 
have died and doesn't build with gnome since about 2.4 or even earlier, 
so you have to try fixing the build failures and no doubt fail. Some 
time ago I had to fix svxlink as it wouldn't build on SuSE, I submitted 
a fix and now it builds and runs on all distros.

I believe rc.config is still in RedHat as I see it around, so I usually 
have to make a guess how to accommodate that stuff on SuSE.
