I've included it in Mandrakelinux's contribs. It's a huge RPM, but we may try to find place for it on the editions that come with the largest number of CDs :)

Ignore me, this is already under way (and being quite well managed, it seems at http://www.haskell.org/fedora/ for the Fedora platform). They're pushing to get included in Fedora's "extras".

To install GHC, download a binary build from http://haskell.org/ghc/. Although source code for GHC is available, it will take a very long time to build by yourself. Since obviously this compiler is being used for real work, has anyone considered petitioning the major Linux distribution vendors to include it in their upcoming releases? For example, I'm sure Fedora would pick it up, given that it's being used in the development of the next major version of an important core tool / language (Perl). Obviously, we can all manage to download and install a compiler, but I for one have been trying to make sure that anything truly useful is not managed this way on my machines. I would petition the projects that I know about, but I don't know anything about Haskell, and it would be presumptuous of me.
#perl6, pugscode.org, and more
Hi. As my today's journal ( http://use.perl.org/~autrijus/journal/23258 ) announced, we have created a #perl6 channel on freenode to discuss everything about perl6, in particular to coordinate development of the Perl6 Compiler and Pugs. All is welcome to join. Also, I've registered http://pugscode.org/ and populated it with some basic information. As the site says, I'm handing out committer bits pretty liberally, so if you are willing to patch things, write tests, and hang out on IRC, please contact the team on IRC or by mail. :) See you on #perl6!
