It's probably best to just stick with one version of Linux (e.g. Redhat)
and emphasize that in any documentation, and then it is up to package
maintainers etc to configure the relevant parts. Actually the Redhat
people seem to be pretty good at making small modifications to software
to suit their releases, and you could then have available the "rpm" they
create. The same could apply to other versions e.g. Debian.
It really shouldn't have to be the responsibility of a generic product
such as kermit to handle every single combination of Linux kernel and
libraries.. leave that responsibility to the package maintainers.
