I will start by making a RPM for Mandrake Linux, what I'm currently using, if I'm able to figure it out at all :). I think that Mandrake RPM's will work within RedHat too; for Mandrake uses RedHat's package manager. But I'm assuming that, and would want to test it/have it tested prior to 'official' release.
