[Fusionforge-general] 5.1 released, plans for the future

[Richard Beare]

Hi,
This is great news.
Are there any new recommended install procedures? I noticed a
reference to redhat/centos for 5.1, but didn't see updated debian
options. What is the most widely used platform amoong core developers
these days?
