[Zope] popular distributions

[Edward Muller]

Some admins swear by binary packages. Some admins swear by source.

Some admins swear by debian. Some admins swear by RedHat. Other swear at
Linux and swear by *BSD. Some, or so it's rumored, swear by various M$
products.

For zope I tend to install from source, including any additional
products/python modules I need. That doesn't mean it's right, but it's
been the easiest to support.

I'd say the most common platform that zope is deployed on is linux, but
that's just speculation.
