[Zope] Zope under Linux -- duh?

As of today, we're still only "certifying" 1.5.1, not 1.5.2, simply because
we haven't had the time to really beat 1.5.2 enough to make sure it works.
This will definitely happen after we get back from Linux Expo next week.

Check your #! header in the files, this can cause that problem all over the
place ;-) It's another one of UNIX's features!

Yup, we do most of our development on Linux of some form (I run FreeBSD,
some people use NT), but like I said, we're all still frozen on 1.5.1 for
now.  We'll get this settled in the next week or two I think.  Definitely
2.0 will be 1.5.2 compatible :-)

Hopefully I'm not speaking out of turn, but 1.11 is "dead" in that we're not
going to release any more versions of it.  We've decided that ZClasses and
everything else will come with 2.0, it's just too big an overhaul to call it
a minor release.  This will be the May 19th alpha that is released.
