+GNU/LINUX ISSUES
+
+    GNU/Linux seems to be the most popular platform on which to run
+    Mailman.  Here are some hints on getting Mailman to run on Linux:
+
+    If you are getting errors with hard link creations and/or you are using
+    a special secure kernel (securelinux/openwall/grsecurity), see
+    contrib/README.check_perms_grsecurity.
+
+    Note that if you are using Linux Mandrake in secure mode, you are probably
+    concerned by this.
+
+
+PYTHON PACKAGES
+
+    Note that if you installed Python from your Linux distribution's
+    package manager (e.g. .rpms for Redhat-derived systems or .deb for
+    Debian), you must install the `development' package of Python, or
+    you may not get everything you need.
+
+    For example, using Python 2.2 on Debian, you will need to install
+    the python2.2-dev package.  On Redhat, you probably need the
+    python2-devel package.
+
+    If you install Python from source, you should be fine.
+
+    One symptom of this problem, although for unknown reasons, is that
+    you might get an error such as this during your install:
+
+        Traceback (most recent call last):
+          File "bin/update", line 44, in ?
+            import paths
+        ImportError: No module named paths
+        make: *** [update] Error 1
+    
+    If this happens, install the Python development package and try
+    "configure ; make install" again.
