I'd like to propose that ZC drops the "generic" Linux binary distribution in favor of an RPM distribution that would be "guaranteed" to run on the latest Red Hat release or the one before it, but might also work on Mandrake, etc.

I'm all for this! The RPM would install everything into /usr/lib/zope-2.7/* except the bin directory, which it'd install in /usr/bin. That'd work on any RPM platform, and thanks to the mk* scripts, the actual installation of a zope instance is soooo much easier now. Previously the RPM had to worry about creating stuff in /var and /lib and all that mess. Now that problem's just gone away :) Richard
