I've been using GARNOME on several Linux systems at work and
think it's great. Many thanks!
                                                                                    
I tried once to install it on a Tru64 unix box, but it failed
on one of the fc_package targets. I didn't spend much time trying
to track the problem down.
                                                                                    
So now that I hear that support for non-linux systems is on the
horizon, I'd be happy to test and give feedback on Tru64 and IRIX.
                                                                                    
I'm particulary interested in the "build-oriented dependencies".
I've tried a couple times to get the DocBook stuff installed
correctly, but havent' managed.
                                                                                    
So... if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.
