Just a snapshot of the cvs the day before isaac checked in the 
frontend/backend stuff would be pretty good. Editing was working well, 
it was stable and great for me. Now with all the gui config stuff going 
on plus the frontend/backend stuff the current cvs seems to be for 
experts only. Which is fine with me. I can wait for .8 without too much 
impatience. However if someone posted a nice tarball from the the 
pre-gui frontend/backend days, I might just grab it.

p.s, as to which distro, it seems like isaac likes debian, but if you 
want one of the "easy" linux distros, mandrake and redhat have pretty 
detailed documentation on the myth site. And getting better every day.
