68 I've once ran Plone on Gentoo. I'm pretty sure I didn't have to resort
69 to manual installing but I can't remember what the solution was. Anyway,
70 it was too much trouble and I dropped Plone. If I ever have to use it
71 again, I just use a virtualized Linux installation for it which comes
72 with python-2.4 out-of-the-box. I'd recommend Scientific Linux-5.5
73 (update to 5.6 coming soon) as a Red Hat clone.
