Thanks for your feedback, we appreciate time you've put into this post.

Think main issue is that RPMs were created specifically for RHEL4 and  
we've only tested on that distribution. We should make this clear on  
download site, apologies for that oversight.

We don't currently support Fedora but we're planning to post SRPMs  
and we could provide ad-hoc help you create working FC6 RPMs if  
you're interested.

Debian packages and source code are available with no registration.  
Otherwise expect a call from our Sales Director :)

Fair comment. We recognise our public documentation needs significant  
work. Possible solutions are that we find:

1) An existing customer willing to sponsor
2) Some volunteers willing to contribute
3) Ourselves with some time on our hands - seems unlikely right now :(

The situation is gradually improving, we had nothing online at start  
of year.

James
