Ah, but if you know the New Zealand distributor of First Class (his office
is right next door to mine) then you have access to their pre-releases.
It's still under active development, altho this has been slowed because
the Linux server has been shelved due to POSIX threading problems under
the 2.4.x kernel series. Once 2.6-stable is released they will continue
their efforts to port the server and up development on the client. Not a
big task according to the lead developer since the Mac OSX port is done.

And thanks to Nick for the --nodeps idea, worked perfectly! It's been too
long since I've touched an RPM based system
