Do not try to use a readymade zope from a distibution (I did once, and 
still get angry when thinking about it), since it will probably get you 
into trouble sooner or later.
Installing from source is easy and quick and you are up and running in 
five minutes..

If your hardware is supported by debian-distribution i suggest you use 
this. (if using dell server, linux.dell.com is the place to go for a 
dell-aware debian boot-image (and it also works on other srver-hardware 
as well)

I have had nothing with trouble with redhat (not enterprise-version) and 
zope-rpm (maybe yast is different and better?)
since switching to debian and zope-source everything is Ay-ok! (not to 
say: it is actually working)

bottom line: use a minimal linux-installation, and use zope-source and 
python-source!
this is the advice of a zope newbie!
