Thanks for considering this- since Athena 10 is due to be out by IAP
(unless the schedule has slipped further) I presume there wouldn't be
any point in doing it then with the RedHat-based release. I'd just
start off with Athena 10/Ubuntu and (presumably) the latest libraries
available at that time.
Thanks,
A.
